Petunia 'Cannonball White'

Abundant blooms and uniform growth with an upright, compact habit. The flowers open early and last well. They don’t need pinching

Petunias are quick to grow and establish and are covered in flowers for many months. Perfect for 25cm pots or hanging baskets where they will flow gently over the sides.

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 can continue blooming up to frost.

Petunias add bright pops of colour to gardens, pots or hanging baskets and have a nice, dense, mounding form and 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 and to water and fertilise regularly. 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 when the weather warms.
