Petunia

🌸 Profuse & Showy

Petunias are the undisputed stars of the summer garden, celebrated for their endless variety of colours, patterns, and forms. Whether filling hanging baskets, spilling over patio containers, or creating massive swaths of colour in the landscape, their high-impact, continuous blooming habit makes them an essential choice for any gardener looking for a long-lasting, spectacular display.

Growing: Thrive in full sun to light shade and require fertile, well-draining soil. They are heavy feeders and perform best with regular fertilization throughout the season.
Sowing (Important Care): Starting Petunias from seed requires precision. Surface sow the very fine seeds and press them into the medium without covering, as they require light to germinate. It is critical not to let the seeds dry out—keep them consistently moist but not waterlogged. Furthermore, maintain a warm, steady temperature (ideally 22–24°C) to ensure reliable, uniform germination.
Care: Keep containers well-watered. Deadhead regularly, or choose modern self-cleaning varieties, to maintain a tidy appearance and ensure vigorous, continuous flowering.
Blooming: Provides a prolific, breathtaking display of colour from late spring until the first autumn frost.
