THIS PLANT IS STILL ON MY DECK AND LUSH AND GREEN. I LIKE HOW THE VEINS IN THE PETALS OF THE BLOOMS HAVE BECOME DEEP CREVICES THAT MAKE IT LOOK CLOTH-LIKE.

I was surprised that our Petunias made it through two rounds of freezing temperatures. So it might last a while longer. It is a nice red.

Beautiful little Petunia. To answer your question...not much longer, I would guess. What a hardy little plant to last this long "outside of California!"

Beautiful - and I can understand why you compare it to cloth; the texture is beautiful.

I would welcome a petunia in bloom now--we are beginning the gray months of winter. Your pretty petunia is both reminder of summer past and a promise of summer to come.

Lui said...

How long will the petunias bloom? For you, they will bloom forever! Well, that's what my dogs said. I have a feeling they're right.

Hi Carletta, I like petunias but they 're so aloof to me. I can't grow make them grow in the backyard.:(
