Wild Petunia is a small but mighty native that delivers soft purple flowers, pollinator value, and easy care in even the driest, sunniest spots. From early summer through fall, this plant lights up the garden with lavender to violet bell-shaped flowers that open and shut with the daily rising of the sun, provides critical forage for long-tongued native bees, and supports larval stages of specialist moths. With its long bloom season and tidy form, it fits just neatly into the low growing meadow or small garden.
