How to care for Tidal Wave petunias?

I planted alternating 'Tidal Wave' Petunias in Cherry %26amp; Silver in my front flower beds in mid-April. The plants were purchased in small 8 inch pots and planted at 12-16 inches apart.





They have grown fantastically and are now starting to take over my walk-way to my front door. My neighbor swears I'm feeding them steriods!!! *i barely water tham*





Can I trim them back and not cause harm to the plants??

How to care for Tidal Wave petunias?
I'm not familiar with Tidal Wave petunias, but regular, old fashion petunias can be snipped or pinched back, just above a new set of leaves. I doubt it would hurt your Tidal Waves, but you might try it on one plant and see what happens and if all seems well after a few days, do them all.
Reply:go with answer #1.. very good advice! thumbs up!
Reply:Yes you can trim them back but be careful not to cut the main stem just the stems that branch out. I think you should just try to push them to the side of your walk if at all possible. Wave petunias are awesome they really practically take care of themselves...
