Petunia Prism Sunshine F1

The petunias of the variety 'Prism Sunshine' F1 are distinguished by their flowering in a true pale yellow that does not fade in the sun and does not turn brown over time. This pastel flowering, on which a fresh green reflection hovers, comprises many large funnel-shaped flowers on homogeneous, compact and dense plants. Forming beautiful flower domes, these easy-to-grow annual plants are perfect for adding a touch of light to borders, terraces, and balconies.

Our hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the warm regions of South America. The 'Prism Sunshine' Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family and is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. The qualities of this variety have earned it international recognition from Fleuroselect. Each plant quickly forms a round and ramified clump 30 cm (12in) high and 50 cm (20in) in diameter, with a dense but graceful habit. It flowers from June to September, provided that faded flowers are regularly removed and regularly supplied with fertiliser. Its cup-shaped flowers are good-sized, finely veined with chartreuse green on a soft yellow background. The small corolla centre, also green, sits at the bottom of a wide throat tinted with anise green. The foliage, quite pubescent, has entire edges and a dark green colour.

No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for a long time. The results are impressive, as petunias compete with geraniums for the splendour and length of their flowering, as demonstrated by this 'Prism Sunshine' variety. Plant petunias in large pots or hanging baskets. You can also plant them in flower beds to punctuate perennial plant borders.
