<<Can annunals (such as a wave petunia) be brought into the house and kept
alive all winter to be brought out again in the spring? I was told that
you can't do it, even with geraniums, and I have kept my geraniums for 2
years now and they look fine after pruning.. (I don't want to waste
precious time or space by trying it if its not possible)
I have a 2 story attached greenhouse on my house, so plenty of sun isn't
a problem and it doesn't get too cold in there in the winter..>>
It is likely that YOU CAN do it! Petunias do not like freezing temps (but will
survive cool temps) and require a lot of light to stay healthy. You may need
to use a grow-light as a sun supplement... and go lighter on the feeding.
Water a little less than you would in warmer seasons. Good luck.
Blessings of the Fruitful Season!
