How to care for Tidal Wave petunias?
Question:I planted alternating 'Tidal Wave' Petunias in Cherry & Silver in my front flower beds in mid-April. The plants were purchased in small 8 inch pots and planted at 12-16 inches apart.
They have grown fantastically and are now starting to take over my walk-way to my front door. My neighbor swears I'm feeding them steriods! *i barely water tham*
Can I trim them back and not cause harm to the plants??
Answers:
I'm not familiar with Tidal Wave petunias, but regular, old fashion petunias can be snipped or pinched back, just above a new set of leaves. I doubt it would hurt your Tidal Waves, but you might try it on one plant and see what happens and if all seems well after a few days, do them all.
go with answer #1.. very good advice! thumbs up!
Yes you can trim them back but be careful not to cut the main stem just the stems that branch out. I think you should just try to push them to the side of your walk if at all possible. Wave petunias are awesome they really practically take care of themselves...
