Tidal Wave Silver
A silver-edged spectacle that catches the light like moonlit lace—Tidal Wave Silver spills in a trailing cascade of soft, luminous blooms with cool-toned, subtly veined petals. Expect a velvety, petal-rich texture and a dense, spreading habit that blankets containers and beds with long-lasting color from early summer through fall. Grow it for show-stopping mass color in hanging baskets, window boxes, and tumbling borders where its trailing presence becomes the centerpiece.

Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 55°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start petunia indoors early (they’re slow to establish), keep seedlings bright to prevent legginess, then transplant after night temperatures are reliably warm.
