Petunia Durabloom Purple

A densely mounded annual, Petunia Durabloom Purple is an outstanding and easy to grow groundcover that features masses of stunning large trumpet shaped flowers of bold purple. With trailing tendencies making it perfect for a hanging baskets or draping over a wall, this long flowering shrub will make a colourful statement wherever it is planted.

A remarkable variety bred for tolerance to heat and humidity, Petunia Durabloom is the world's first interspecific Petunia that extends the growing season from Spring all the way through till late Autumn, and beyond in milder climates. This heat tolerant annual thrives in the heat of Summer where other varieties fail, and the impressively large, bold flowers show excellent weather and stress tolerance. For best results plant into a full sun position and a well drained, nutrient rich soil. If growing in pots or baskets select a good quality potting mix for tubs and baskets. Regular deep watering is recommended during the warmer months, and an application of a complete fertiliser every 3-4 months will ensure these stunning plants have the energy to show off their magnificent flowers for the whole season. A light trim and deadhead now and then is also beneficial to keeping these plants looking their best.

**Planting out these advanced plugs is the best way of avoiding transplant shock and ensuring your plants settle in quickly and grow on well as the plants are young and fresh. Also, the root systems are healthy with no chance of the encircling roots that pots will encourage. Our professional growers have been using this method for years as it's the quickest way of ensuring top quality plants and we are excited to be able to offer our customers the same.
