Seasonal trends to
inspire and add style to
your outdoor space
Creating an on-trend outdoor space with flowers
(BPT) - Each season brings new oppor- tunities to express your personal style. Like putting together an outfit, decorating your outdoor space is an opportunity to show- case your favorite trends. Adding petunias to your porch, patio or garden is an easy way to create a space uniquely your own. They’re easy to grow and maintain, making them a great choice for beginner garden- ers and a constant favorite for seasoned gardeners. Petunias brighten up gardens, patios and balconies with bold long-lasting color - and they’re virtually care-free. They love sunshine and add style and dazzling color with minimal upkeep.
Here are a few ways to incorporate the latest trends into your outdoor space.
Make a statement. Add a pop of color to your outdoor space with this season’s most talked about tones. Taking inspi- ration from the runway, try the new award-winning Wave Carmine Velour petunia in a vivid red-hot cherry hue. Or, add the Pantone Color of the Year to your porch or patio. For 2019, it’s Living Coral, chosen for its ability to “energize and enlighten with a softer edge,” especially in nature. The friendly and lively color will be everywhere this season, from clothing and accessories to furniture and accents. Plant a container of Easy Wave Coral Reef petunias to brighten up your oasis.
Mix it up. Just as the perfect look for a night on the town needs the right heels and accessories to create a killer outfit, your containers can combine sever-
al of your favorite elements to make a show-stopping composition. Make your containers do double duty with combos
of flowers, vegetables and herbs. Not sure what varieties play nicely together? Plug &
Play combos with Wave petunias take the guesswork out of combining flowers and flavors. The Plug & Play Combo Cantina Heat pairs peppers alongside Easy Wave Blue spreading petunias and yellow French marigolds for a mix of colors as bold as the flavors within it.
Be festive. From Mother’s Day to Labor Day, spring and summer are filled with holidays, each providing a new opportu- nity to dress your outdoor spaces accord- ingly. Hanging baskets make a great gift for mom that she can enjoy all season long.
In addition, the Flying the Flag combo of red, white and blue Wave petunias features patriotic colors for a festive nod to the Fourth of July.
Get creative. Wave Petunias can be en-
joyed beyond the flower bed, too! Petunia blooms are easy to press and dry, and can be the showcase of DIY projects, like a personalized phone case, picture frame and more.
Adding pops of color to create an invit- ing, on-trend outdoor space is simple, and Wave petunias are an easy-to-maintain yet striking flower for everyone, from new to advanced gardeners. They’re the perfect way to update your outdoor space for a fresh, stylish look that’s welcoming all season long.
