E. Petunia `Rainmaster'
P. axillaris
1.52' h x 10" w | HHA | Self sows
This heavenly scented white petunia has a mod-
ern name, but harkens back to 1823 when an ex-
plorer plucked it from the mouth of the Rio de
la Plata in South America. Survives rainstorms
with no marking or dissolving as some petunias
are prone to do, and its sweet scent on summer
evenings is heavenly.
