| Hi
First year growing these. Love em love em loooove em! I was hoping to snag a few seeds, but I can't find any. In Lowes today, I saw some dried out plants on the clearance rack. Took one of the dried pods and it was empty. Has anyone had any experience with getting seeds from either plant? |

| Hi, this is from the Proven Winners website: "Purple Wave is propagated from seed, whereas Supertunias are propagated from cuttings." I know I've had my Waves reseed in my gardens, but I never noticed the supertunias reseeding. I guess that's why. : ) What kind of flowers are cherry belles? Kat |

| a lot of these petunias and callibrachoas are actually sterile (to flower all summer, right) so seeds are not to be found - mostly they are propagated by soft tip cuttings. Wave petunias are one of the most reliable seed raised petunias though, and seeds are usually easily sourced. |

| Thank you Campunula Seems like such a waste, right? There had to be seed somewhere in the history of this plant. But nope, no seeds. Blooms are done and I'm left with pretty green foliage. Was pretty while it lasted. |

| When you buy the supertunia why not take some cuttings off each plant before you plunk it in the soil and try mulitiplying your stash that way..if there are not seeds? I don't think you can beat PW supertunia plants..my favorite so far has been the supertunia bubble gum pink with deep blue verbena..but in 2013, I plan to try some other varieties of the PW petunias..that Bordeaux is calling my name loud and clear. I did not like "It's no picasso" or whatever that catchy name is. I putted them up and they just became too leggy and floppy in the pot. I cut them back and that didn't seem to help much and they didn't seem to hold up to the 100 degree temps and i would have thought since they are a drought tolerant plant, they will pass my expectations but I know people who have been in PW trials and she made same observation and notated it and PW dropped her for her honest obeservation. They wouldn't listen to her honest opinon and observation and this lady is really an experienced gardener and knows her stuff. |
