Hi I'm growing what was supposed to be kentucky old fashioned petunias this year but I don't notice them any more fragrant than other types. Do I have the wrong kind? Some descriptions say the old (kentucky included) types of petunia have a rich "jasmine like" perfume. Has anyone else grown the real heirloom types? What do you think? If you found a good source of really fragrant ones let me know. Thanks :)

I've grown that Kentucky mix for a couple of years, and haven't noticed them to be particularly fragrant. The main difference is that they grow tall and vinelike.

I'm not interested in the aroma, though, as I use them as a companion plant for beans, is all. Grown in a mass they might be very fragrant.
