Petunia Tidal Wave® Silver F1 (Petunia × hybrida). The Petunia Tidal Wave® Silver F1 is a true champion in landscaping.

Germination typically takes 7 to 12 days in potting mix maintained at 22 to 24 °C (71.6 to 75.2 °F). The seeding schedule for this variety is as follows: indoors, 7 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant young flowers when their true leaves have developed and their roots hold the root ball together. Handle seedlings gently and avoid compressing the stem. Under lighting, gradually space out the containers so that the foliage does not overlap. Acclimatization then prepares the plants for sun, wind, and temperature variations.
Tidal Wave® Silver F1 Petunias are perfect for creating lush and elegant gardens, thanks to their vigor and ability to cover large areas in record time. Combine the light flowers of this variety with dark foliage to highlight their outline; a few repetitions near a pathway provide continuity to this luminous touch. Plan for this variety's placement in the flowerbed, considering its height of 45 to 55 cm (17.7 to 21.7 in). When designing the planting, allow for 75 to 150 cm (29.5 to 59.1 in) of spread for each plant of this variety.
