Petunia grandiflora Superbissima

The Petunia grandiflora 'Superbissima' is an old variety of petunia that is as exceptional as it is exotic. Very robust, it is covered, from June to the first frost, with huge flowers (10 to 15 cm (4 to 6in)) that are entirely unprecedented: very undulated petals and a finely veined heart in a magnificent range of pink, purple, and lilac. Its compact habit is perfect for flower beds and borders and for growing in pots and hanging baskets.

It is a highly appreciated plant of excellent ornamental value, which owes its success to its generosity and flowering duration.

The Petunia grandiflora Superbissima is very versatile; you can plant it in the garden, in a border in an exotic flower bed, or even in a pot, planter, or hanging basket where it will look excellent on its own or accompanied by Ipomoea Illusion Midnight Lace, Diascia, Sage Gogo Purple, or even with Holcus mollis for a modern and contrasting effect.

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

Petunias thrive in sunny and sheltered locations. They should be planted in rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. They are easy to grow but require a lot of water.
