More About Petunia ‘Easy Wave® Blue’

Petunia ‘Easy Wave® Blue’ is a classic spreading petunia valued for its rich blue-violet flowers and dependable, season-long performance. The blooms appear early and continue nonstop, quickly covering the plant and spreading outward to fill space with consistent color.

The Easy Wave® series bridges the gap between compact petunias and ultra-vigorous landscape types, offering strong spread without becoming overly aggressive. This makes ‘Easy Wave® Blue’ extremely versatile for both containers and in-ground plantings.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Easy Wave® Blue’ has been a reliable, low-maintenance performer, handling heat, humidity, and summer rain with ease. It fills baskets and beds quickly, rebounds well after stress, and maintains good flower coverage with regular feeding.

We especially appreciate its true blue tone, which pairs beautifully with yellows, whites, pinks, and silver foliage and adds cool contrast to warm-season plantings.

Easy Wave® Blue vs. Other Petunias

Compared to compact petunias, ‘Easy Wave® Blue’ offers greater spread and coverage.

When compared to Vista® petunias, it provides a more controlled size that’s easier to manage in containers while still delivering excellent landscape performance. For gardeners seeking a dependable blue petunia with strong spread and nonstop bloom, Petunia ‘Easy Wave® Blue’ is an excellent choice.
