Set of 3 Petunia (Any Colour) in 4 Inch Nursery Bag

The petunia is a popular genus of flowering plants known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers and relatively low maintenance care, making it a favorite for gardens and containers. They are mostly grown as annuals and thrive in sunny conditions.

General Care Guide

• Sunlight: Petunias require at least 6-8 hours of full, direct sunlight daily to perform their best. In too much shade, they will become spindly and produce fewer flowers.
• Watering: The soil should be kept consistently moist, but never waterlogged to prevent root rot. Plants in containers and hanging baskets may need watering daily, sometimes twice a day in hot weather, until water drains from the bottom.
• Soil: They prefer light, fertile, well-draining soil that is slightly acidic (pH 6.0-7.0). Amending the soil with organic matter like compost improves drainage and fertility.
• Fertilization: Regular feeding is key. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two to three weeks during the growing season. Spreading varieties benefit from weekly fertilization.
• Pruning/Deadheading: Removing spent flowers (deadheading) redirects the plant's energy from seed production back to creating new blooms. Trimming back overgrown or "leggy" stems encourages bushier growth.
