Petunia 'Surprise Sparkle Blue'

Description:
Petunia 'Surprise Sparkle Blue' is a dazzling flowering annual that features deep blue-purple blooms with a shimmering, star-like white pattern. This striking contrast makes it a standout in any garden, whether planted in garden beds, borders, pots, or hanging baskets. With a vigorous and trailing growth habit, it creates a lush, cascading effect, ideal for filling spaces with colour.
