Petunia Purple

Common Name:
Petunia 'Purple'

Description:
Petunia 'Purple' is a vibrant and hardy flowering annual known for its deep purple, trumpet-shaped blooms that add a rich splash of colour to gardens, pots, and hanging baskets. With a vigorous growth habit and a long flowering season, this petunia provides continuous colour from spring through to autumn. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun, though it can tolerate part shade. Regular watering and occasional feeding with a liquid fertiliser will encourage abundant blooms. Deadheading spent flowers will promote prolonged flowering, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens.
