Petunia Blueberry Lime Jam

The Petunia 'Blueberry Lime Jam' is an amazing variety of petunia that is covered from June to the first frost with a profusion of flowers in a contrasting duo of lemon yellow and deep midnight blue. Its compact habit is perfect for borders, edging, and growing in containers and hanging baskets.

It is a highly valued plant with great ornamental value, thanks to its generosity and the length of its flowering period.

The Petunia 'Blueberry Lime Jam' has a compact habit, reaching a height of 30 cm (12in) and a width of 35 cm (14in). It can be planted in the garden, as a border or within a flowerbed, or in a pot, container, or hanging basket, where it will look stunning on its own or accompanied by Angelonia, Verveine Vepita, Dichondra, or even with Holcus mollis for a modern and contrasting effect.

Originating from South America and belonging to the Solanaceae family (like ornamental tobacco but also... potatoes!), Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant. It bears charming bell-shaped flowers on elongated stems, with the size and colour varying depending on the variety. Its leaves are slightly pubescent, with smooth edges and dark green. It flowers from June onwards and lasts until the first frost.

Petunias thrive in sunny and wind-sheltered locations. They should be planted in rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. They are easy to grow but require regular watering.

To encourage and support their long flowering period, it is important to regularly remove faded flowers and provide a potassium-rich fertiliser, especially for potted plants and containers, to promote the development of new flowers.
