Among the easiest of flowers to grow, petunias are a cheerful standby of cottage gardens everywhere. Now available in a dazzling array of colors, including soft yellow, many are also fragrant.
Petunias are annuals, which means they last just one year.
They do demand full sun and adequate water, but are otherwise low-maintenance. Buy petunia seedlings just about anywhere. They re available even at supermarkets. Choose whatever color pleases your eye. But keep an eye out for form, too.
