Select Seeds used to offer this white-flowered selection of the super-easy-growing Petunia integrifolia, a mounding petunia that has non-stop flowers. I found it just as easy to grow as the species and I loved growing the two together for the contrasting blooms. If there is another source for it, I don't know about it. It's too bad as this is a lovely plant as worthy of growing as the species. It is perfect for a moon garden and I used to grow it in pots near flowering tobacco, white-flowering heliotrope, and moonflower.
