Petunia grandiflora pendula Lady Purple Hybrid F1

The Petunia grandiflora pendula 'Lady Purple' is a remarkable trailing variety of petunia. Its long trailing stems are covered in a cascade of large flowers from June until the first frosts, with a deep purple-pink colour and almost black centres. It is highly resistant to rain and even light frost. It looks splendid in containers and hanging baskets.

This plant is highly appreciated for its ornamental value, thanks to its generous blooming and long-lasting flowers.

The Petunia grandiflora pendula Lady Purple has a compact habit, reaching a height of 15 cm (6in) and spreading long stems that can reach 90 cm (35in). It can be planted in the garden as a border or in an exotic flower bed, as well as in pots, containers, or hanging baskets where it will look wonderful on its own or paired with Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Diascia, Sage Gogo Purple, or even Holcus mollis for a modern and contrasting effect.

Native to South America and belonging to the Solanaceae family (like Ornamental Tobacco but also... the potato!), Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant. It bears charming bell-shaped flowers on elongating stems, varying in size and colour depending on the variety. Its leaves are slightly pubescent, with smooth edges and dark green. It starts blooming in June and continues until the first frost.

Petunias thrive in sunny and sheltered locations. It should be planted in rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. It is easy to grow, but it requires plenty of water.
