This mix brings a romantic yet vibrant feel to any planting scheme and performs reliably in a wide range of conditions.

 

This vigorous annual thrives in full sun and fertile well drained soil. With regular feeding and deadheading it produces an abundance of flowers for months on end. Ideal for containers window boxes hanging baskets and feature plantings where its soft blended colours can be fully appreciated.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds on the surface of moist well drained compost and do not cover as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 20 to 24°C in a propagator or covered tray. Germination may be slow and seedlings require gentle handling. Transplant into individual pots when large enough to manage. Harden off and plant out after the last frost spacing 30 to 40 cm apart.

 

Grow and Maintenance

Water regularly and feed every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support continuous flowering. Remove faded blooms to maintain a tidy display. Petunia Aphrodite Mix F1 thrives in warm sunny positions and is ideal for containers borders and decorative summer plantings.
