Petunia hybrida

Petunias are among the most versatile and popular bedding plants, celebrated for their vibrant blooms and strong garden performance. Petunia hybrida is a compact, herbaceous annual from the Solanaceae family, known for its trumpet-shaped flowers and vigorous habit. Full sun exposure is essential for strong, compact growth and season-long flowering, and plants perform best in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Ideal for containers, hanging baskets, and landscape borders.
Stick cuttings promptly, maintain 70°F (21°C) early, cooling to 65°F (18°C). pH 5.5–5.8, EC 0.8–1.0. Feed 50 ppm N, then 100–150 ppm N. Fungicide at sticking and week 2; pinch for branching.
