Petunia, originally a cultivar from Argentina, is now one of the most popular Summer flowering annuals. Each year the range of Petunia cultivars increases and their flowers seem to become more stunning. Flowers are basically trumpet-shaped, many cultivars being ruffled and/or double petalled adding to the impact they create in the garden. Petunias are able to tolerate a wide range of weather conditions. They thrive in light, fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Water sparingly during dry spells as over-watering spoils their flowers. Heavy Summer rain storms often create havoc with Petunias, however recently released Petunias have been breed especially to tolerate extreme weather conditions, as well as maintaining very compact and uniform growth. Excellent examples of these weather tolerant varieties which we recommend included the fantastic Fiesta series (single colours) and Scotsburn Special Blends. Petunias are very versatile; they can be used as bedding plants for massed display, borders, rockeries, containers, window boxes and hanging baskets
