Description

The 'Fantasy' milliflora Petunia is a variety of miniature petunia with a compact habit. Very floriferous and resistant, it is covered in many small flowers in a harmonious mix of colours from June to the first frost. It looks stunning in pots as well as on the garden borders.

This plant is highly appreciated for its ornamental value, thanks to its generosity and the length of its flowering period.

The Fantasy milliflora Petunia has a compact habit, reaching a height of 15 cm (6in), and produces much smaller flowers than classic petunias. It is available in many colours: pink, pale yellow, violet, red... You can plant it in the garden, at the edge of a flower bed, or in a pot, planter or hanging basket, where it will look wonderful on its own or accompanied by Helichrysum, Verveine Vepita, Diascia, or even Holcus mollis for a modern and contrasting effect.

Originating from South America and belonging to the Solanaceae family (like ornamental tobacco but also... potatoes!), the Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant. It bears charming bell-shaped flowers on stems that elongate over time, varying in size and colour depending on the variety. Its leaves are slightly pubescent, with smooth edges and dark green. It flowers from June onwards and lasts until the first frost.

The petunia thrives in full sun and sheltered from the wind. Plant it in rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. It is easy to cultivate, but it requires plenty of water.

To encourage and support its long flowering period, it is important to regularly remove faded flowers and provide a potassium-rich fertiliser, especially in pots and planters, to promote the emergence of new flowers.

 

Attention: seeds are reserved for highly 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 from February to April on a good sowing compost surface 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.
