Petunia Hybrid E3 Easy Wave Sweet Taffy Mixture

Petunia Hybrid E3 Easy Wave Sweet Taffy Mixture Seeds

Petunia hybrid E3 Easy Wave Sweet Taffy Mixture is an F1 hybrid from the E3 Easy Wave series by PanAmerican Seed. The E3 designation stands for Early, Efficient, and the Evolution of Easy Wave, representing the next generation of the globally recognized Wave petunia brand. This particular mixture combines Pink Cosmo, Yellow, and Rose Morn tones in a soft, warm, candy-inspired palette that creates a cheerful and cohesive display.
The E3 series flowers at 10-hour daylength, making it earlier to bloom than the original Easy Wave under short-day conditions. Plants are manageable, spreading to 65–80 cm while maintaining a domed, controlled mound shape. They require lower plant growth regulator rates than standard Easy Wave, making production more efficient. Blooms measure up to 8 cm across and are produced continuously throughout the season.
