Petunia (Petunia)
Color Name: Peach Melba
Petunia Fun House® Peach Melba is a unique and captivating annual that adds a vibrant splash of peachy hues to any garden space. Its distinctive petals showcase a gradient of colors, transitioning from deep burgundy in the throat, reminiscent of a peach pit, to golden-orange-yellow. This mounding variety thrives in sunny locations and is an ideal choice for hanging baskets, patio containers, and garden beds, where it attracts bees and compliments alike.
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.
