Petunia

 

 

Height: 8-10 inches
Flowers: 2-4 inches wide
Position: Full sun
Soil: Average to moist
Planting out: After last frost
Spacing: 8-10 inches
 

You can expect blooms throughout the summer and into autumn if faded flowers are removed regularly.  Over watering will cause foliage to yellow and the plants will eventually die. Over fertilizing will result in an abundance of foliage with few flowers. Limit supplemental feedings to one or two during the growing season. After the first flowering flush, cut the plants back to encourage a second blooming.

Good for mass plantings, mixed beds, and containers.

Avoid wetting foliage to prevent fungal growth.
