I was surprised with this plant even though I ordered it, Petunia pink Lemonade.  Have any of you grown this?  

​​Good morning.  It is overcast and cool this morning.  High of 60F(16C) but will have a NW wind that will make it feel cooler.  Yes, I know you want it to be warmer, but this is how spring goes.  Enjoy this.  Frost could be Friday and Saturday morning.  Your perennials that are up will be ok.  I know the fruit trees are blossoming, might have to hope they are ok.  Stay warm, stay safe.
 
Australia friends and family for Thursday April 30 will have a high of 77F(25C) and looks like another awesome fall day for them.  They are talking about winter coming.  Now that doesn’t seem weird to us in April and May. Evelyn has lived there for over 50 years, so it is part of her life.  Stay safe and enjoy.
 
I ordered the flowers plant plugs in November.  I go through a lot of the grower’s catalog and spend time online to see what the flower does. But I am surprised at this one.  It says it is a petunia, it blooms like a petunia, but the leaves are thick, glossy and variegated.    This looks like a very fun plant.  Goes well in a basket and it does trail after it mounds. It can be planted in the ground.  I have found three descriptions of this petunia.  I think you would like it in your garden.  New to me.  How about you? 
Petunia – Pink Lemonade
With hot pink flowers and golden variegated foliage Pink Lemonade Petunia stands out in the mixed container. Showy enough to be planted alone for a gorgeous container but also does well mixed with annuals.
Petunias are long-blooming annuals that thrive in bright sunny locations. Popular trailing out of pots or used as colorful ground covers. A hummingbird favorite, expect to see these winged beauties visiting your containers and hanging baskets.
Plant Petunias in sunny spots in moist, well-drained soils. Lovers of fertilizer, plant with a slow-release fertilizer and use a liquid fertilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions. Petunias benefit from a mid-to-late summer haircut, cut back about halfway when plants begin to look tired. Usually in July-August.
