    A cute little petunia with lemony-centered white blooms--the first yellow petunia I'd ever seen. It wasn't as vigorous as I'd hoped. After winter sowing pelleted seeds, I found that it reached its peak bloom in August. But since our spring was so long and mild last year, most things were late. It spread about 8 inches on one side of the basket it was in with portulacas.
