Martin points out a brand new petunia from Ball floraplant. It's called Petunia Bee's Knees. It is the most yellow petunia on the market and has sold like wildfire at garden centers. Petunia Bee's Knees is the deepest yellow petunia that you'll find on the market right now. It is a true yellow, doesn't have that greening color, or a muddy color in it. It is really a true yellow with a nice big bloom. Martin has seen it in trials around the country and in most areas it'll push right on through the summer. One of the things that Eric loves about petunias and calibrachoa is they are really drought tolerant and they love the sun. So for those areas where you're trying to find an annual, that's going to give you incredible flower power and grow fast, resulting in a carpet of color, these new selections are really exceptional.
