PETUNIA hybrida Alderman nana compacta
Family: Solanaceae
Characteristics: Annual 20-30 cm
Seed per packet: Approx 2,000
Seed per gram: Approx. 10,000
An attractive Petunia that produces masses of dark violet-coloured single flowers on bushy compact plants, perfect for garden beds, baskets, planters and window boxes.
Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates but not frost. They need at least five hours of sunlight daily and flourish in moist soil and conditions of low atmospheric humidity. They are best grown from seed. Watering once a week should be sufficient in most regions, but hanging baskets and other containers need more frequent watering.
Maximum growth occurs in late spring. Apply fertiliser every 2 weeks will help the plant grow quickly.
Petunia is a genus of 20 species of flowering plants of South American origin.
Petunia is a warm-season flower that prefers to be grown in full sun.
Tropical and Arid: March to September.
Temperate: August to December.
Cool: September to December.
