    Free-flowering big yellow blooms. Mounding, semi-trailing, and started from seed

    This petunia is very easy to start from seed. I've had mine blooming before I even got them transferred out of cell packs. The flower is a very pale yellow, but it works well in many combinations. It's a strong bloomer, but it occasionally got a little leggy.
