Surfinia "Purple Velvet" F1

A variety of lush hanging petunia with shoots up to 70 cm long. Young bushes are erect, growing, the shoots hang down and form a real avalanche of large purple flowers. Grown by seedlings. Sowing is carried out from January to April, superficially, under glass (after the emergence of seedlings, the glass is removed). During the winter months of January-February, additional lighting is required. With early sowing, flowering begins in May, which is very convenient for growing plants on balconies, enclosed terraces, and patios.
Without additional lighting, petunia is sown no earlier than March. Shoots appear in 7-12 days. They are planted in a permanent location when the danger of frost has passed. Light-loving and quite drought-resistant. Prefers light, fertile, well-drained soils.
Petunias can be grown for several years, kept in winter in a well-lit room (the plant is heavily pruned, t no more than +12°C, moderate watering). Individual petunia plants look great, planted in a group to form a bright, elegant spot; they will perfectly decorate balcony boxes, vases and hanging flowerpots.
