Natural Concealer

Plant Tidal Wave® Petunias to make a natural concealer.

Cover a fence or unsightly area (like an aircon)

The most vigorous of the Wave Family, Tidal Wave has a growth habit based on how closely the plants are spaced. Meaning the closer the spacing, the taller the plants! When spaced a minimum of 30 cm apart, the plants will form a dense, mounded hedge, with the ability to grow upward – about 1 m with proper support, like a fence.

But when given plenty of space, Tidal Wave makes a free blooming groundcover that spreads out 0.5 to 1 m. If you're trying to screen over an aircon or other unsightly spot, put lightweight chook wire around the area. Plant Tidal Wave Petunias along the “fence” about every 30 cm and watch it make a natural concealer!
