Self-sown Petunias in planters around cash machine Huntingdon 9th October 2023 001

So nice to see planting around these things isn't it!

Thanks again Kate! These Petunias did look great for several months! Incredibly they survived getting frosted & even had rainwater freeze on them! I was very surprised to see them survive the first frost let alone sevearal frosts! I think I took a picture as I didn't expect anyone to believe me. I must look for it & see if I can upload it.

Hardy little things, indeed! It’s always really lovely to see flowers and colour into late autumn and early winter. Especially when it’s unexpected too!

Petunias are half-hardy plants which is the reason we can't plant them out until the last frost has come & gone so I was very surprised to see the plants coved in ice & then continue the next day as if nothing had happened!
