Say hello to a new superstar. Red Velour has nabbed every top seed award in the world, and now it is ready to sashay into your garden. This amazing Tidal Wave Petunia is spreading, but it can also mound up and fill the available space like a champ. It's the tallest of the Wave family, and of course no other color has its rich intensity, its velvety darkness. Add to this a few of its other many merits—it's fade-proof and highly resistant to Botrytis, just to name a couple—and you can see why plant judges and gardeners are falling all over themselves to sing its praises. Join the chorus—Red Velour is simply incredible.

These blooms are 2 to 2½ inches wide, with a dark red color that even the strongest summer sun can't bleach. They arise NONSTOP for months on end, new flowers opening above the old ones so the plant always looks fresh and new, even when it's been going strong all summer. All the Petunia Waves are bloom machines, but Red Velour has taken it to a whole new level.

And as a member of the Tidal Wave group, this is a taller, bushier, more substantial plant than the other series in the family. Expect Red Velour to reach 16 to 22 inches tall—even bigger in warm climates—and to spread anywhere from 2½ to 5 feet wide. The difference is in how you choose to grow it: space the plants a foot apart to create a dense, flowering hedge, or 2 feet apart for a lower-growing but equally solid ground cover. You just can't lose with the Tidal Waves®, which are known as "hedgiflora" petunias.
