Petunia Daddy Mix – Ruffled blooms for winter–spring pots & planters

Daddy is a vigorous spreading type petunia, with large grandiflora-type blooms with wavy edges that stand up to the rain. The six colours in the series range from silvery pastel pink through to blues and the deepest orchid purple, each are distinctly veined. They are well-known for earliness, uniformity and weather tolerance.

These compact plants spread to around 25 to 30cm (10 to 15in). They rapidly fill in large areas, cover the plants in a multitude of showy colour, yet are so low on maintenance

Environment

Don't over water in the winter and keep them well ventilated
