Petunia Surfinia by Park Seed for Mother's DayIf your mother is a gardening enthusiast, you’ll want to get her this gorgeous Petunia Surfinia® Pastel Pink available from Park Seed.

When the Wave petunia was introduced to the market, home gardeners thought they had found the perfect blooming and spreading petunia and flocked to garden centers to fill their yards and porches with spreading color. But Petunia Surfinia is even BETTER! You, and your mother, can expect up to 4 feet of flower-filled growth in a single season. And maybe the best part is, with no deadheading! For those of you have grown petunias in the past, you know that if you don’t pick off the spent blooms, the plant stops flowering. Not so with Surfinia.

This gorgeous spreading, or hanging, petunia is even longer-lasting and more bloom-happy than Wave! And, while other spreading Petunias tire out at summer’s end, Surfinia® gets a second wind and blooms like crazy! It keeps going strong through mid- and late season, putting on a terrific show right up until hard frost. And because of its wild South American ancestors, it stands up more effectively to heat, humidity, and rain. You simply cannot do better for nonstop color from early spring through late fall.

The picture shows Surfinia  blooms in a soft bubblegum pink, but it’s also available in blue vein, purple picotee and the Patio series, hot pink, lemon, and blue. They arise very close together on strong, vigorous branches, and new flowers open so quickly that you don’t have to bother deadheading the old ones; they get covered up until they drop off! The flower power of this spreading Petunia is simply amazing — unless you stop watering and feeding it, chances are you won’t find it out of bloom for 7 months or more! Your Mother will LOVE IT!
