Petunia Violet

Common Name:
Petunia 'Violet'

Description:
Petunia 'Violet' is a vibrant and hardy flowering annual that produces an abundance of rich violet-purple blooms, adding a bold splash of colour to gardens and outdoor spaces. With a compact, spreading habit, this petunia is perfect for garden beds, borders, pots, and hanging baskets. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to encourage prolific flowering. Regular watering and occasional feeding with liquid fertiliser will enhance its lush growth and extend its blooming period. Deadheading spent flowers ensures continuous flowering from spring through to autumn, making 'Violet' an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens.
