    Looking to find out if a plant we brought last year was aperennial plant or a bedding plant, we have moved over winter and allot of plants didn't survive the move, we really want this plant again as it seemed to flower all summer and spread really really well,
    It's the purple trumpets under the big window

      I think it's probably a petunia, by the look of things!

        Look like Petunias - very commonly available.

          You can buy seeds for climbing petunias but most are for the trailing types you grew last year.


          No, it dies off over winter.

          If you didn't collect any seeds last year I doubt there will be any remaining. I buy them as small bedding plants each spring as it's much easier than growing from seeds.
