Petunia Crazytunia Cosmic Purple

Petunia Crazytunia Cosmic Purple is a striking variety with rich and vibrant colours. It has purple flowers bordered by an almost fluorescent pink. This colour changes depending on the light intensity and season. The flowers bloom throughout summer on a bushy, rounded, neat plant that stays tidy even in challenging weather conditions. Add it to your terrace or balcony in flower pots and hanging baskets!

Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family; it is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. These annual, biennial, or perennial, frost-sensitive plants are mostly grown as annuals and are all native to the warm regions of South America. Petunia Crazytunia Cosmic Purple produces numerous large flowers, from June to October. Early in the season, the plant has a rather low, semi-trailing habit. As summer goes on, the vegetation becomes denser, forming a rounded clump. The velvety and well-branched stems reach a height of up to 30 cm (12in) and spread over 45 cm (18in), without the plant hollowing out in the center. This variety flowers for 4 to 5 months, provided it is regularly fed and watered. Its flowers bloom on dense foliage. The small, healthy, vibrant green, slighly hairy, ovate and pointed leaves have entire margins. This variety requires very little maintenance: simply regularly remove faded flowers.

No other annual flowering plant has received such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias compete with balcony geraniums in terms of splendour and length of flowering, as demonstrated by this selection of Petunia Crazytunia Cosmic Purple. Plant it in large, dark-coloured, designer flower pots, or hanging baskets, with varieties of white, purple, or red petunias. You can also plant it in flower beds, to edge borders of plants with grey or white foliage, such as cerastium, sea cineraria, or artemisia. Plant it in large flowering compositions with oxalis, clover, bacopa, or white bidens with delicate flowers, large clumps of Pennisetum x advena Rubrum…
