Another Survivor, Petunia Tidal Wave Silver. This one is not totally constant, as I give it a shearing when it gets leggy, right back to a little clump. A bit of fertilizer and it gets new happy growth. It gets afternoon shade from the house, so this helps it last during the heat. Oddly enough, I did overwinter this plant in the ground. When freezing temps were forecasted, I would invert a large pot over it. I also put under the pot a zip-loc bag of warm water, to get it through the night. I didn't, of course, do it for the savings, but for the early plant-in-the-ground start. I had flowers extremely early.
