Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Stunning Display: Features 2-inch bright purple blooms that blanket the plant, creating a sea of purple over a low height of about 7 inches.
  • Light and Germination: Prefers a location with plenty of light which aids in germination. Best germinated at 75°F, seeing sprouts in 5-15 days.
  • Plant Care: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Maintain budding plants at temperatures around 55°F to preserve the dwarf growth habit.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for both containers and as a lush ground cover. Petunias spread up to 4 feet in a single season, offering a quick solution for empty garden spaces.
  • Self-Cleaning Flowers: Wave petunias require no deadheading. Old flowers naturally drop, making room for new blooms without extra work.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow Tidal Wave Purple Petunia seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds gently into the soil without covering them, as they require light for germination. Maintain a soil temperature of 75°F for optimal results.

Once seedlings emerge, keep the growing temperature around 55°F to ensure compact growth. Transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing them adequately to allow for their spreading habit. Harden off plants before moving them outside to acclimate them to outdoor conditions.

Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize every two weeks with a high-phosphorus formula to encourage blooming. Enjoy the vibrant purple blooms that self-clean, providing a continuous display throughout the season without the need for deadheading.
