Wave Misty Lilac, a hybrid Spreading Petunia, is a colorful annual flower native to South America. PanAmerican developed this cultivar as a superior trailing Petunia with a long bloom season and prolific blooms that require minimal care. It offers a spreading habit of just 5-7" tall, reaching 36-48" wide, with light lilac flowers from spring through late summer. The Wave series offers heat-tolerance, cold tolerance to 40 degrees, resistance to disease, and an exceptional, versatile spreading habit. All the Wave and Easy Wave Petunias perform well in retail settings, offering a better product to your customers for longer. This plant flourishes in full sun, bringing vibrant color to combination containers, hanging baskets, landscape borders, and groundcovers. Create attractive contrast in the landscape by growing Wave Misty Lilac alongside Wave Carmine Velour and Wave Lavender. For a more mounded variety, try growing the E3 Easy Wave series.
Sell Wave Misty Lilac to customers looking for low-maintenance spreading annuals. This Petunia is fast-growing, free-flowering, heat-tolerant, and attractive to bees. This plant is hardy to 40 degrees, offering prolific bold flowers from spring through summer and hugging the ground as it spreads up to four feet! The Wave series brings customers a spreading Petunia with exceptional versatility to brighten containers, hanging baskets, planters, window boxes, landscape borders, and any sunny spot needing ground cover. Enjoy color all season with superior holding capabilities for a long sales window! Create a colorful low-maintenance border or combination container by growing this plant with a mix of Marigold, Verbena, Salvia, Lobelia, Alyssum, Geranium, Nicotiana, and Calibrachoa. This variety is the best on the market among trailing Petunias, requiring almost no care in return for abundant flowers!

1. Space plants 12-24" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water two-three times a week or more often in drought or containers.
3. Fertilize weekly with an all-purpose feed.
4. Remove plants once cold weather sets in.
For best results with Wave Misty Lilac, grow one seedling plug per gallon container or three to four seedling plugs per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.2, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, and moderate feed (225-300 ppm N). This plant requires 12 hours of daylight to bloom. Provide temperatures of 61-75 daytime and 57-65 nighttime. Use a daminozide spray 7-10 days after transplanting to encourage branching and control stretching, then a drench with flurprimidol or paclobutrazol 7-10 days later and additionally as needed. Temperatures around 50 degrees will delay flowering. Watch for aphids, thrips, fungus gnats, shore flies, botrytis, rhizoctonia, and pythium. Carmine Velour and Purple are more vigorous than others in the Wave series.
Prolific lilac flowers bloom from spring through late summer with no need for deadheading or trimming.
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant. Space gallon containers 12" apart and 10-inch baskets 24" apart. Adjust spacing as needed for sufficient circulation in your commercial greenhouse.
Wave Misty Lilac responds well to daminozide and paclobutrazol or flurprimidol. Apply a spray of daminozide at 3,500-5,000 ppm seven to 10 days after transplanting to encourage branching and control stretching. Seven to 10 days after that, apply either a paclobutrazol drench at 8-10 ppm or a flurprimidol drench at 5-6.5 ppm. Less vigorous varieties (all colors besides Carmine Velour and Purple) may not need a paclobutrazol drench. Lower temperatures delay flowering, allowing you to control crop time with proper day length.
Scout for thrips, aphids, fungus gnats, and shore flies as part of your commercial greenhouse's Integrated Pest Management plan.
Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that cause damage by sucking sap from plant tissue. They reproduce quickly and are particularly attracted to young growth. Curling and yellowed leaves, stunted growth, and stickiness on leaves are signs of an infestation. These insects also spread diseases and reproduce rapidly. Use biological controls or horticultural oils to discourage and kill aphids.
Fungus Gnats are small, dark flies that lay eggs in damp soil where larvae feed on plant roots, causing damage and death. Watch for adult gnats flying around the plants and check for larvae in the soil. Prevent infestations by allowing the soil to dry between waterings and controlling humidity in the greenhouse. Fungus Gnats thrive in moist conditions. Catch adult gnats with sticky traps to prevent them from laying eggs. Use beneficial nematodes or apply Bacillus thuringiensis.
Shore Flies are small black flies attracted to algae and organic matter. Watch for adult flies around plants and larvae in the soil. Sanitize surfaces and prevent algae growth in your greenhouse. Remove any extraneous organic matter, use sticky traps to catch adult flies, and use beneficial nematodes to kill larvae.
Thrips are tiny insects that eat plant tissue and can transmit viruses. Watch for silvery-white streaks or black spots on foliage and distorted growth. Use natural predators (like predatory mites), insecticidal soap, neem oil, and sticky traps to control infestations and prevent spread.
Watch for signs of Botrytis, Pythium, and Rhizoctonia, especially during short days and under low light or high humidity. Use preventative measures in your commercial greenhouse. Practice good sanitation, water at the base of each plant and allow the soil to dry between waterings, and provide good airflow in your greenhouse. Space containers for adequate circulation and sunlight penetration around the base of each plant.
Botrytis is a common fungal disease that causes brown spots on stems, leaves, and flowers. Remove and destroy affected plants, maintain appropriate humidity levels, and apply fungicides with boscalid, fenhexamid, or iprodione to control the spread. Water plants in the morning and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Pythium and Rhizoctonia are fungal diseases that cause stunted growth, yellowed leaves, and plant death by eating away at the plant's roots. Use well-draining planting media and provide good airflow and spacing in your greenhouse. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and apply fungicides with active ingredients abamectin, spinosad, or imidacloprid to combat these diseases.
We recommend growing one seedling plug per gallon container or three-four per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the plug centered or evenly spaced in the container. Finish times are slightly shorter in summer. Gallon containers finish in 5-9 weeks, depending on cultural conditions and season. These seedling plugs finish faster in the warm temperatures of summer.
