Petunia Rose Vein Velvet F1 Hybrid Seeds

Petunia Rose Vein Velvet F1 Hybrid is one of the best varieties for pots. Its long, trailing stems are covered, from June to the first frosts, with an avalanche of medium pink flowers, delicately veined with a deeper hue. Just as beautiful on the balcony as in the garden, either in flowerbeds or as a ground cover.

This highly appreciated plant is of great ornamental value and owes its success as much to the generosity of its blooms as to the lengthiness of its flowering period.

Petunia Rose Vein Velvet F1 Hybrid presents a trailing habit and produces stems that can reach 1 m in length. Plant it in a pot, window-box or hanging basket where it will work wonders on its own or accompanied by Angelonia, Vervain Vepita, Dichondra or even with Holcus mollis for a modern, contrasting effect. It is also possible to grow in the garden where you can let it spread freely, letting it form a magnificent ground cover.

Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant native to South America that belongs to the Solanaceae family (like ornamental tobacco but also like... potato!). It bears charming bell-shaped flowers on stems that lengthen over time and whose size and colour vary according to the variety. The leaves are slightly pubescent, smooth edged and dark green. Flowering starts in June and lasts until the first frosts.

Petunia thrives in sunny spots, sheltered from the wind. Place it in a rich, light and well-drained soil or growing medium. It is easy to grow but it requires a lot of water.

Warning: seeds are best meant for more experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust and are hardly visible to the naked eye.
