Nice. Petunias are my favorite flowering annual. As long as you got a sunny spot and keep them watered they pop flowers all summer. Seems like they are one of the most hybridized flowers because there are so many variations now. The Waves (Tm) and the Minis (tm) are patented in the USA and are expensive but even the cheap petunias look good. I've always wanted to try making one of those Wave (tm) towers out of pvc pipe.

Oh me too. My city does these flower towers a lot and they typically feature petunias in all the colours. Afaik it should be fairly doable.

Petunia is the one I've always been most succesfull with, seems it just needs the sun and pinching out the spent flowers. Grew a huge pink one in a hanging basket one year, it got massive. Absolute joy. It was also one of these layered varietes like the ones I am growing this year, these are my favourites for sure. The seed mix I got this year is mixed colour and so far I have this light purple one, deep pink, dark purple and one that is sort of light red.
