Petunias are ideal in flowerbeds, patio
containers and huge hanging baskets! For
a striking patriotic planting ,

Wave Blue.

yourself at your Fred Meyer Garden Center.
While
much of the information in this tip is applicable
in several gardening zones/climates, some
of the plants and timing suggested are best
suited to the Northwest, generally in the
mild/wet growing regions found along the
I-5 corridor. You should make appropriate
adjustments or consult local gardening experts
in regions whose climates differ from this
area of the Northwest.
