White Petunias are the feature today for White Wednesday. Petunias tolerate the heat fairly well. They do not demand a lot of water.
They were beginning to get leggy so I cut every other branch back and they bloomed beautifully again.
Enjoy
That C-Cat crept into the last photo. He is a sly one.
I am linking with Kathleen at Faded Charm for her White Wednesday link party. Please visit for more white goodness.

I love white petunias. I had to cut all mine back too. Nice and full now.

Love your white petunias Olive...they are one of my favs. I went away for 10days and couldn't believe how much mine had grown in that time!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

Your petunias look so pretty. I have a planter of petunias but they don't look as good as yours. I'm going to take your advice and cut them back to see if I can get them to bloom again. I'll let you know how it goes.

So lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou have a sneaky kitty like mine. Mine's a big old attention hog, thinks the camera was invented solely to take her picture. ;-)
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I have these in pink and purple-but I like the white. I can never have white around my house because they won't show up-my house is white. Glad something tolerates the heat! Happy WW
ReplyDeletePretty petunias, love the cat!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of white petunias planted as well. They are just such a pretty old fashion flower!
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep your petunias alive? They look lovely. And that sweet C-Cat ~ too cute (even if I only see his tail:) Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteThat's the great thing about petunias. When they get all leggy like that, you can cut them back and they bloom their little hearts out all summer! Isn't it funny how sometimes when we're taking a picture, we don't realize the cat or dog was in the shot until we upload them?!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

Hugs from me,

Hi Olive...I am so glad to be here. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I had to cut back a lot of my potted flowers yesterday...they look a little straggly this time of year.

ReplyDeleteHi Olive- Your white petunias are beautiful. White flowers are always my favorites.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful petunias! I bought several of these this year and almost all of them have died. Not sure what they didn't get. Yours are very romantic flowing out of your container. Thanks for stopping by.
