Petunia hybrida grandiflora "Diamond Purple" F1.
Intense dark purple-dark violet, flower size 7,5-8.5 cm. Spreading cascade 100 cm. Luxuriant growth.
Globally new variety - a truly cascading petunia grandiflora grown from seeds.
DIAMOND F1 - a group of original overflowing varieties from the Černý Company, which can boast the biggest spreading cascade among seed-grown grandiflora varieties.
These well-branched plants grow luxuriantly and create an impressive cascade 80-100 cm. The varieties are rich in blossoms, the size of which is 7,5-8,5 cm.
They are intended for planting in raised flower containers, window boxes and big hanging bowls, which can show their overhanging character to good advantage.
They can also be used for bed planting.
The plants have a creeping growth habit. They grow together in a short period of time creating a colourful carpet about 20-25 cm high.
Like all luxuriantly growing petunias they are more demanding on nutrients.

* Petunia is very photophilous (tolerates weak shading) and thermophilic, it develops better on fertile, light, slightly acidic soils. With the onset of prolonged cold weather and rains, the petunia stops flowering, and when good weather sets in, it resumes it again. Petunia is drought-resistant, but with regular watering, it will thank you with more lush beautiful bushes and abundant flowering.
For the germination of petunia seeds, you need heat (+ 23 + 25 degrees): then shoots appear in a week and a half. The top layer of earth in a pot with crops should not be damp, but should not dry out, so seedlings are often checked (at least twice a day). It is better to water petunia seedlings from below, from a pallet. In order to avoid the appearance of a "black leg", petunia seedlings, after drying the soil, are periodically sprayed with a light solution of potassium permanganate, regularly turned over and wipe the glass, ventilate the "greenhouse".
Petunia seedlings are grown at a temperature of 20 degrees. Rare planting of seeds allows picking petunia seedlings when they develop 3-4 true leaves. But if necessary (the rapid spread of the "black leg"), an urgent picking of seedlings is carried out at earlier stages of development in order to save at least part of the crops. Before picking seedlings, the soil is moistened.
Petunia seedlings have a short subcotyledon knee and a rosette of leaves, therefore, when picking, the seedlings are hooked with a stick, taken by the leaf and carefully removed from the ground, keeping the earth on the roots. When picking, it is impossible to deepen the growth point of the petunia into the ground, therefore, while filling with soil, the cotyledons of the seedling are slightly raised above the ground. When the petunia seedlings grow up, they begin to be fed (seedlings stretched out due to lack of light do not need to be given nitrogen fertilizers).
Petunia seedlings are planted in the ground after the end of spring frosts, at a distance of 20-40 cm.
Petunia has branched roots that do not penetrate deep into the soil, so when transplanted, its root system is easily restored.
