Description
Petunia Rose Vein Velvet F1 Hybrid is one of the best varieties for pots. Its long, trailing stems are covered, from June to the first frosts, with an avalanche of medium pink flowers, delicately veined with a deeper hue. Just as beautiful on the balcony as in the garden, either in flowerbeds or as a ground cover.
This highly appreciated plant is of great ornamental value and owes its success as much to the generosity of its blooms as to the lengthiness of its flowering period.
Petunia Rose Vein Velvet F1 Hybrid presents a trailing habit and produces stems that can reach 1 m in length. Plant it in a pot, window-box or hanging basket where it will work wonders on its own or accompanied by Angelonia, Vervain Vepita, Dichondra or even with Holcus mollis for a modern, contrasting effect. It is also possible to grow in the garden where you can let it spread freely, letting it form a magnificent ground cover.
Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant native to South America that belongs to the Solanaceae family (like ornamental tobacco but also like... potato!). It bears charming bell-shaped flowers on stems that lengthen over time and whose size and colour vary according to the variety. The leaves are slightly pubescent, smooth edged and dark green. Flowering starts in June and lasts until the first frosts.
Petunia thrives in sunny spots, sheltered from the wind. Place it in a rich, light and well-drained soil or growing medium. It is easy to grow but it requires a lot of water.
To encourage and sustain its long flowering period, faded flowers should be removed regularly and a potassium-rich fertilizer should be applied, especially when planted in pots and window-boxes, which will promote the appearance of new flowers.
Warning: seeds are best meant for more 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 petunias from February to April on the surface of a good seed starting mix, pressing them gently into the soil. Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of vermiculite or sifted compost. Place the seed tray in a propagator (or seal within a polyethylene bag) or place above a heater at a temperature of 21 to 25 °C. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Light facilitates germination which usually takes 10 to 21 days.
When the young petunia plants are large enough to be handled, proceed with transplanting. Gradually acclimatize the plants to cooler conditions until they are strong enough to be planted out and after all risk of frost has passed. Transplant 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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
