Known for its easy cultivation and long-lasting display, this versatile plant adds instant colour and charm to landscapes, making it a favourite among gardeners and landscapers alike.
Cultivation: Petunia × hybrida is widely cultivated for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms and ease of growth in gardens and containers. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and requires full sunlight for optimal flowering. Regular watering, without waterlogging, and periodic application of balanced fertilizers help maintain vigorous growth. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming throughout the season. With proper care, petunias add bright color and fragrance to landscapes, borders, hanging baskets, and balconies.
