Crazytunia® Kermit Rose Petunia Plant

Crazytunia® Kermit Rose Petunia Plant is a quite striking specimen, one of a series of new petunias edged in lime-green, a.k.a. Kermit-green. The pastel, creamy green throat is darkly veined, the venation fading as the pink coloration of each petal takes center stage, though it is still visible, adding to the overall decoration of this eye-catching petunia! Gardeners are standing up and taking notice of the Kermit series; these upright blossoms are tolerant of adverse weather, have superior branching and are a lot taller than many petunias. Petunia flowers produce a sugary nectar that hummingbirds and butterflies love.
