Description
The Petunia 'Diamond Pearly Shades' is an exceptional variety of petunia with long trailing stems that are covered in a profusion of large flowers (8 cm (3in)), in an exquisitely delicate pearly pink colour, from June until the first frost. Ideal for hanging baskets and containers and for borders or ground cover.
It is a highly valued plant with great ornamental value thanks to its generosity and flowering duration.
The Petunia 'Diamond Pearly Shades' has a compact habit (height 20 cm (8in)) and produces long stems that can reach up to 80 cm (32in) in length. It can be planted in borders, beds, or pots, as well as in hanging baskets, where it will look stunning on its own or paired with Angelonia, Verveine Vepita, Ivy, or Holcus mollis for a modern and contrasting effect.
Originating from South America and belonging to the Solanaceae family (like ornamental tobacco and... potatoes!), the Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant. It bears charming bell-shaped flowers on elongating stems, with the size and colour varying depending on the variety. Its leaves are slightly pubescent, with smooth edges and dark green. It starts flowering in June and continues until the first frost.
Petunias thrive in sunny and sheltered positions in rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. It is easy to grow, but it requires regular watering.
To encourage and support its long flowering period, it is advisable to regularly remove faded flowers and provide a potassium-rich fertiliser, especially in pots and containers, to promote the growth of new flowers.
Attention: seeds are reserved for very experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust, barely visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow petunias on a good sowing compost surface from February to April and press gently. Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of vermiculite or sieved compost. Place the bowl in a propagator (or enclose it in a polythene bag) or above a radiator at a temperature of 21 to 25°C. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Light facilitates germination, which generally takes 10 to 21 days.
Once the young petunia plants are large enough to handle, transplant them. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions until they are strong enough to be moved outdoors once all risk of frost has passed. Transplant them into well-drained soil at a distance of 30 cm or grow them in pots or window boxes.

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).
