Of course I know these are double petunia's.
But I'm unable to find any other infor. on them.



Out of all my petunia's this year, I'm really liking these double ones. Thanks for any help.

They do not appear to have a Latin name other than Petunia x hybrida. This will be followed by the varietal name, but you would need a seed catalogue with pictures to find out the exact ones.

Oh dear my keyboard is drowning!! I LOVE that first double Petunia. Did you find a name for it as I'd love to order some seeds?
