Petunia Surprise Sparkle Magenta

Common Name:
Petunia 'Surprise Sparkle Magenta'

Description:
Petunia 'Surprise Sparkle Magenta' is a stunning flowering annual that features rich magenta blooms accented with dazzling white star-like markings. This striking colour combination makes it a perfect choice for garden beds, borders, pots, and hanging baskets. With a vigorous, mounding to trailing habit, it provides lush coverage and cascades beautifully in containers and baskets. Thriving in well-draining soil, it prefers full sun for the best flowering results. Regular watering and occasional feeding with a liquid fertiliser will ensure a continuous, vibrant display from spring through to autumn. Deadheading spent flowers will extend the bloom time, making 'Surprise Sparkle Magenta' a fantastic, low-maintenance addition to Melbourne gardens.
