Hi Betty,
I'm not sure I would call any of the Wave petunias small, but they do
bloom like crazy. They are great as ground covers or in baskets. The
purple ones can get to 4 feet across, but stay about 6" tall, or less.
They also have pink, rose, Misty Lilac, and this year, Coral. The Misty
Lilac gets a little taller, maybe 10", and none of them get quite as big
as the purple...maybe 3 feet across. The lilac ones go really great
with the pale yellow Prism Sunshine petunia. Good luck!
Josh, looking at over 600 Wave petunias waiting for spring!
