Maule’s Showy Petunias 
Hardy Annual 
No annual flower is more widely used than the Petunia. 
It begins to bloom early, and lasts the whole season, until 
killed by frost. Petunias succeed best in rich soil and a 
sunny location. While most varieties are of the trailing 
habit, some are quite erect.

color a crimson maroon. In the center of many flowers is a 
five-rayed star of light blush pink or white, while some are 
beautifully striped or blotched. Height of plant, 1% to 2 feet.
