Petunia Espresso Grande Mix - seeds

The Espresso Grande Mix dwarf petunia offers you its large 10 cm diameter flowers throughout the summer. This very floriferous variety is available in a mix of colours, ranging from white to deep purple, including pink and blue. This annual, compact and generous plant will work well in your borders, pots, and hanging baskets. Sow indoors, in a warm place, from the end of winter.

From the nightshade family, the Petunia genus includes 35 species of herbaceous perennial or annual plants, native to tropical regions of South America, especially Brazil. Breeders have had a field day with varietal innovation. There are numerous varieties of petunias and other surfinias, with single or double flowers, varying in size and colour. Petunias have sticky foliage that sticks to your fingers. One characteristic of petunias is that the stems elongate during flowering. The Espresso Grande variety does not elongate and will remain compact. Its stems stay short, which means its flowers remain well above the foliage, forming a tuft 25 cm tall and 35 to 40 cm wide.

All summer long, this dwarf petunia offers large single flowers, 9 to 11 cm in diameter, in various colours: white, pale pink, pink, dark pink, blue, red and deep purple. In your hanging baskets, pair it with White Cascade Lobelia with white flowers or with Silver Falls Dichondra with silver foliage and trailing habit.

Attention, these seeds are reserved for experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust, barely visible to the naked eye.
