This nicely scented, old-fashioned garden petunia is a favorite of mine for container plantings and sunny borders.
Just for clarification, it should be noted that Petunia multiflora is not a true botanical species and is a misnomer. There are however several classifications of Petunia x hybrida that include Multiflora types (petunias with smaller, more numerous flowers and trailing habits) as well as Grandiflora, Floribunda and Milliflora types.

Recently moved to Peach County, GA. Well established plantings both shrubs and flowers around the house, but not maintained for some time. I was joyfully surprised to find this month (April)that Petunia's are just popping up all over the yard in 'patches' as well as single plants! Various shades from pale to dark lavendar's and pinks. Some are 6" to 10" and some even taller! Some, as I stated, are in 'clumps' and others just scattered about! I had a difficult time cutting the lawn because I had to cut many of these brave and beautiful little plants down. Since I am from FL have have little experience in GA gardening..does anyone know if I can pull these plants up (dig them up) and re-locate them to one general location with success? and..why are they just popping up like this??! ...Thanks!

I grew this in a hanging basket and it is wonderful. Spills over and hangs wonderfully. I have saw hummers at it a few times. Very fragrant in the evening. I will plant more next year in a bed. These are the ones my granny grew and I love them!
