Cascade Blue
A cascade of velvety, sky-blue blooms spills over the edge with a soft, luminous glow—each flower marked by a deeper, velvety throat that draws the eye from every angle. The trailing, spreading habit forms a lush mound of color in about 70 days, with abundant blossoms that feel plush in the garden and photograph beautifully from morning light to dusk. Ideal for containers and hanging displays, Cascade Blue delivers nonstop floral presence and a refined, cool-toned palette that turns balconies into living bouquets.

Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start petunias indoors early, then transplant only after nights are consistently warm (petunias hate cold) and keep containers evenly moist but not waterlogged.
