Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This heavenly scented white petunia has a modern name, but harks back to 1823 when an explorer plucked it from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata in South America. It does survive rainstorms with no marking and dissolving as some petunias are prone to do, and its sweet scent makes it an essential part of the evening garden.
