By Vicki Gee-Treft Bee’s Knees Petunia, another 2022 All America Selections’ (AAS) Gold Medal Winner, is lush with pollinator-friendly 2.5” deep-yellow blooms all season long against its deep-green leaves. Bee’s Knees offers great performance in a full-sun garden (spaced 18-24” apart), mixed container, hanging basket or as a groundcover. Gardeners appreciate its 8-10” height with mounding and trailing traits. Both heat and rain tolerant, it requires very little maintenance though it performs best if fertilized regularly. One AAS Judge reported, “No disease, no deer problem, no breakage from the wind. Great plant!” “It withstood the summer heat and tolerated the colder and wetter conditions at the end of the season very well,” exclaimed another judge. This prized distinction winner will be planted at the Teaching & Display Garden at the Spooner Ag Research Station and available for your viewing this summer.
