If they r petunias they grow very well in hanging baskets. that's were i put them. they do spread out if they have enough room. so you don't need to over crowd the basket. window boxes or pots are good for them to. they are normally planted in summer early June. plant now but be carefull of frost. they flower really well to. and can be really nice just on there own. good luck
Reply:Petunia's grow in most places-window boxes, tubs, flower borders etc. Avoid anywhere too shady or damp. Plant about 3 inches apart as will spread. Water lightly daily if very sunny weather.

Reply:My advice is to take your plants to the garden department of a WalMart or even better, to a greenhouse to ask what kind of plants they are and what kind of care they need. Some plants need LOTS of water, if they get too little they will die. Some plants are just the opposite, and need water sparingly or they will drown and die. Some enjoy the high sun (heat) others could wither quickly and die that way.





If indeed they are petunias, these are a high sun lover, meaning they need lots of light and very little shade. You'll also have to dead head them (pull off old blooms) to keep them blooming, pinch (with finger and thumb) back about an inch to keep them from getting long and leggy. Fertilize with a weak solution of Miricle Grow every two weeks for bigger plants with lots of blooms.
