Petunia (Petunia)
Color Name: Bubblegum
Bubblegum petunias are known for their soft pink color that resembles the hue of bubblegum. They are easy to grow and maintain, making them a favorite among gardeners and plant enthusiasts. Bubblegum petunias will add a pop of color to gardens, hanging baskets, and flower beds. They bloom profusely throughout the season and are self cleaning. Their fragrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them not only beautiful but also beneficial for pollinators. With their cheerful blooms and easy-care nature, bubblegum petunias are a lovely addition to any garden or landscape.
Growing Tips: Petunias love to bask in the sun and enjoy 6 hours or more of daily sunlight. Water your petunias regularly to promote lush blooms. Make sure the soil is well drained because soggy soil and overwatering can cause root rot and yellowed foliage. Soil prepared before planting petunias should have well-composted organic matter worked in. Our petunias are self-cleaning. Deadheading is not necessary!
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
