Petunia Salmon

Common Name:
Petunia 'Salmon'

Description:
Petunia 'Salmon' is a stunning flowering annual known for its soft, warm-toned salmon-pink blooms that add a touch of elegance and sophistication to gardens. With a compact, mounding habit, this petunia is perfect for garden beds, borders, pots, and hanging baskets. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun for the best flower production. Regular watering and occasional feeding with a liquid fertiliser will encourage abundant and long-lasting blooms. Deadheading spent flowers will prolong the flowering season from spring through to autumn, making 'Salmon' a delightful and low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens.
