| We made an impulse purchase at the supermarket - a basket of petunias. There were yellow ones and purple ones. We transplanted the whole thing into a hole in a stump. About a month has passes and the yellow ones are smaller and the blossoms short lived. The purple ones are large and the blossoms longer lived. Otherwise hardly any discernible difference. Is there any way to figure out what variety or strain the purple are? |

| Let me completely rephrase the question. Can you link me to your favorite list describing common petunias? (I went Googling and quickly became a little bit overwhelmed - I could figure it out but sometimes advice is better than too much information.) |

| It may be hard to differentiate between cultivars, although you can differentiate between types of petunias (grandifloras, multifloras, minis, waves). I have noticed, however, that white and shades of purple petunias tend to be the most fragrant. Oh how I love the scent of petunias on a warm, muggy evening..... |
