Description
Petunia × hybrida Madness White produces clean white, trumpet-shaped blooms against green foliage. This low-growing, spreading petunia is useful for seasonal color; the original listing describes plants around 10–15 inches tall with a spread of roughly 10–12 inches. Its bright flowers pair well with nearly any color in mixed containers, hanging baskets, or garden borders.
Growing in Alabama and the Southeast
Plant in a spot with at least six hours of sun and fertile, well-drained soil or quality potting mix. Water thoroughly at planting and keep soil evenly moist, not soggy; containers may need daily checks during warm, windy weather. Feed lightly and regularly during active growth to support flowering. In Alabama, petunias usually perform best in spring and fall. Prolonged summer heat, humidity, and heavy rain can slow flowering, so provide airflow and monitor moisture closely.
White flowers may show rain damage sooner than darker colors; remove damaged blooms to keep the display tidy. Protect from hard freezes, and use as a seasonal annual in most Alabama landscapes.
