Perennial Petunia Surprise 'Burgundy Star'

This Petunia can play a starring role in your display. The burgundy and white flowers have a nice depth and detail to their colouration. Surprise Petunias are lovely and dense, they stick close to the ground and have a gentle, trailing habit, the blooms are 5-7cm across.

Perennial Petunias are quick to grow and establish and will be covered in flowers for many months.

Perennial Petunias have the advantage of lasting a few years in the garden, where their annual counterparts were quite short lived. They have excellent cold tolerance, are renowned for being tough and producing amazing, weather resistant blooms. They make great fillers as your summer plants begin to fade and will continue blooming up to frost.

Perennial Petunias add bright pops of colour to gardens, pots or hanging baskets and have a nice, dense, mounding form with gently trailing stems. The flowers can bloom from spring to autumn, even longer in warmer climates.

Plant your Perennial Petunia into moderately fertile to humus rich, well drained soil. Add a diluted liquid fertiliser fortnightly, or a slow release pelletised version every couple of months to keep them blooming at their best.

A light prune after the first flush will help prolong flowering. In pots and hanging baskets it is a good idea to use a good quality potting mix. In areas of hard frost they may have to be treated as annuals, they survive outdoors here in the hills with a bit of winter damage but shoot back quickly as the weather warms.
