Description
The Dwarf Petunias of the Petunia hybrida nana compacta 'Choice Mix' variety are herbaceous annual plants that bear an abundance of simple, funnel-shaped flowers in a variety of bright colours from June to September. This extremely floriferous, easy-to-grow plant is ideal for borders, pots and hanging baskets.
Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants originating from the warmer regions of South America. The variety petunia 'Choice Mix' or Petunia nana compacta belongs to the Solanaceae family and is close to ornamental tobacco for example. Its foliage also contains alkaloids. The plants form a rounded clump with a graceful, dense habit, that reaches 30 cm in height and 20 cm in diameter in record time. The plant is in bloom from June to September, provided that the wilted flowers are regularly removed and that fertilizer is regularly applied. Its cupped flowers are medium-sized, contrasting and come in a very wide range of colours that include monochrome or bicolour flowers. The little centre of the corolla is green. The fairly pubescent foliage features entire margins and a deep green hue.
No other flowering annual has been subjected to such an intense selection by plant breeders and over such a long period of time. The results, such as demonstrated by this variety, are impressive since the splendour of their blooms and length of their flowering period rival those of pelargoniums. Plant them in large pots or in hanging baskets. You can also plant them in flowerbeds, in order to punctuate borders with plants featuring grey foliage, such as mouse-ears or sagebrush.
Warning: seeds are best meant for very experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust and are hardly visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow petunia seeds from late winter to mid-spring in a seed tray at 21-27 °C. Spread the seeds on the surface of a good quality, special seed starting mix, enriched with well-rotted compost. You can mix the seeds with sand or light soil to help you sow thinly. Do not cover the seeds but press them gently into the growing medium so that the seeds adhere to the surface. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Keep in well-lit conditions, in a transparent, waterproof plastic bag. Germination usually takes 10 to 21 days. When the seedlings are large enough to be handled, plant them out in pots and let them grow in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days and then, when all risk of frost has passed, plant the seedlings outdoors, in a sunny spot sheltered from strong winds, in well-drained soil. For cultivation in pots, prick the seedlings out into 7.5 cm diameter pots and place them in a cool, well-ventilated spot in a bright position, without direct sunlight.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
