Details

Petunia x hybrida 'Explorer White' is a steadfast garden performer offering a profusion of bright white blooms all season. This vigorous Spreading Petunia attracts hummingbirds to beds, borders, hanging baskets, containers and window boxes. Fast-growing plants spread up to 3-3 1/2'. Fertilize often.

Growing Tips

If you have problems with budworms (blooms and buds getting chewed away) we recommend Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew. It's safe enough to be used for organic growing, and if used once a week starting mid-June it should take care of these dastardly pests that have invaded most of the Midwest. We carry this fantastic product at our Kaw Valley Garden Centers in ready-to-use spray bottles.
