Description
Petunia 'Pink Star' forms erect and compact clumps, covered with single, medium-sized flowers with the pattern of a large white star on a light pink background. The vigorous plants bloom continuously until October. This annual brings charm and freshness to flower beds, potted plants and hanging baskets. It is easy to grow in the sun, in fertile, light and moist soil.
Hybrid petunias all originate from several plants native to the hot regions of South America. Petunia 'Pink Star' belongs to the solanaceae family, it is close to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. This variety quickly forms a round and dense clump 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) high and 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) wide. The plant is in bloom from May to October, provided it is well watered and regularly fed. Its cup-shaped, medium-sized flowers are clear and vibrant, pink and white, tightly packed together on dense foliage. The small centre of the corolla is marked with yellow and pale green. The hairy, dark green foliage has entire edges and is vigorous and healthy.
No other annual flowering plant has been subjected to such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias compete with geraniums for the splendour and length of their flowering, as demonstrated by this variety 'Pink Star'. Plant it in large pots, or hanging baskets for a stunning result. You can create a perfect contrast with the black-flowered petunia, or a very pastel ensemble with a sky-blue or white petunia. You can also plant it in a flower bed, to edge borders of plants with grey foliage such as cerastiums, sea cineraria or artemisias. If you want it to stand out, plant several to create an original ground cover at the base of plants with grey foliage such as faasseni catmints or annual poppies.
Note: Please be aware that plug plants are products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost is over.

Planting and care
You can plant your petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed, they will tolerate a light, late frost. In the meantime, you can pot them on in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Petunias will flower from June to October. Plant them in a sunny or partially shaded position, sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich, well-draining soil. Do not water them too much at the beginning of their growth as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. They are floriferous and fast-growing, hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking good and prolong the flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
