Are there any left? All of my grandfathers smelled so wonderful!
I had seeds from his for the longest but the last batch of plants growing got nipped by an early freeze before they went to seed
Does anyone know of a fragrant petunia?
Thanks

Yes there are but I don't recall any names. The deep purple, and sometimes white, ones seem to smell the most. I just go around the garden centres in spring and sniff to identify them. Often one can smell the scent from several feet away and then home in on them.

I smell every spring, I'll keep sniffing
Thanks for identifying some colors for me

Since the garden centres are just starting up here, I'll see if any particularly scented ones have a name when I'm checking out the flowers, and post back.

I had some wave "blue" dark purple and regular purple, as well as Rainmaster (white) that smelled wonderful. I usually smelled them in the afternoons whenever I was working in their area of the garden. Didn't have to be on top of them to smell them.

Barton Springs nursery will order any seeds you can think of. I ordered some last year and they were in store a couple of days later.

Sue, thank you so much. I miss the smell so much

Taqiyyah, thanks for this two names. Very helpful

Do y'all know a couple of people have asked me why I was smelling the petunias , when I told them I was looking for petunias with s fragrance, they said" Petunias don't have a fragrance"
I didn't bother getting into it
I just looked at them and walked away
A couple of years ago when I was told this before, the lady kept wanting to argue about it

@bubbles, we cross posted
I heard Lowes got new petunias in, tons of them
I'll check those out tonight
I don't have s name for my grandfather's

I have been buying Wave Petunias the past several years, they have a lovely fragrance, they come in pink, white and purple.

I smelled of the waves a couple of weeks ago and detected no fragrance, I don't recall the color, don't believe they were pink

Yep, I was surprised myself, actually. Didn't know petunias had a smell, but my waves did. Think they only have detectable fragrance during certain times of the day...? Mine were very sweet, but also I had a lot--lining a pathway and two big wild looking planters full.

I love big pots of petunias , those are beautiful and even prettier that they smell good.

I have many large planters that I fill with them, I think they are most fragrant in the evening.

Oh my!!! Beautiful!!!!
That is when mine used to smell the best and also when I go to the stores to look for them is toward evening when the sun is getting low
Maybe I'll find some tonight

Good luck Jolana, I hope you find some tonight.

Look what I found, and it's right here on garden.org

@woofie , thank you so much. I need to start searching more
But then I wouldn't get to interact with great gardeners and see beautiful flowers
Thanks again

Thank you Margaret, it's my goal for this week,

I find this one quite fragrant so I always have them in my containers.

Select Seeds (and others that carry heirloom seeds) have 3 varieties of fragrant petunias:

Bit late to be starting from seeds but they're selling plants of the white one and the "climbing" one as well. I've had great plants from these folks.

Sue, that is gorgeous!!

Elaine, thanks, I'll look them up!!
