Petunia (Petunia)
Color Name: Lemonberry
The Petunia Sling Shot Lemonberry is a captivating addition to the garden, prized for its unique, striking burgundy and yellow star pattern on its blooms. This variety, is known for its ability to quickly fill out containers, hanging baskets, and landscape beds with an abundance of vibrant flowers. Its spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for adding a continuous burst of color and visual interest throughout the growing season. The Lemonberry also attracts pollinators like butterflies, making it a valuable addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.
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.
