All but lost, this old-fashioned variety has now reclaimed its rightful spot as a favorite cottage garden flower. Petunia varieties come and go with alarming frequency, the fact that this was saved attests to its winning ways. A velvety robe of purple forms its simple flat trumpets of bloom, the tall stems are a refreshing change from modern prostrate varieties, and the fragrance after hours is generously sweet, but never cloying.
