This British-bred selection is celebrated for its resilience, making it an ideal choice for UK gardens seeking reliable, show-stopping colour and gentle fragrance throughout the summer months.

• Growth Habit: Vigorous trailing stems spill gracefully from baskets and containers, creating a waterfall of blooms.

Effortless Gardening – Just Hang & Enjoy!

Your Petunia basket arrives pre-planted—no need for fiddly potting or advanced gardening skills. Simply hang in your chosen spot and water regularly to keep blooms coming. These petunias are bred for the British climate: they withstand rain, wind, and cooler spells better than many other varieties.

• Feeding: Apply a liquid fertiliser every two weeks to promote continuous flowering.
