After the Fourth of July, I bought several pots of petunias that had been part of the red, white and blue promotion at King Soopers. None of the pots had blooms when I bought them, but the foliage looked healthy. Within a week, all of the planted annuals were blooming profusely. Petunias are tough: a nice choice for Colorado.
