Is it hotter than normal this year? I always thought that the proper times
for petunias where the cooler months of the year, ie: early summer and going
into fall. IIRC, they don't like a lot of heat and tend to die back during
July and August to revive again for one last show before autumn. If your
June has been like ours here in the midwest perhaps they couldn't take the
heat.
