Default Question About Petunias

Pen wrote:
I'd like to add that due to all the stress of being in a hanging pot,
petunias will attract a fair amount of aphids. If you notice these
suckers around stems and under leaves then hose them off with a gentle
spray every day or two. After a week of spraying, they should be
under control.



I grow MANY Petunias in hanging planters (see my web site)
and I have never had a problem with aphids on Petunias. In
fact, I don't believe that I have seen an aphid on a
Petunia. I wish I could say that about other flowers.
