Petunia Sophistica Blue Morn

The Petunia 'Sophistica Blue Morn' is a new variety of petunia covered in a profusion of flowers from June to the first frost, with a beautiful violet-blue colour punctuated by a yellow centre. It looks just as stunning on a balcony as in a garden.

This highly valued ornamental plant is appreciated for both its generosity and the length of its flowering period.

The Petunia Sophistica Blue Morn has a compact habit, reaching a height of 30 cm (12in) and a width of 35 cm (14in). It can be planted in borders, flower beds, or pots, where it will shine on its own or accompanied by Fragrant Alyssum, Mealy Cup Sage, Ornamental Tobacco, or Variegated Creeping Soft Grass for a modern and contrasting effect.

Originating from South America and belonging to the Solanaceae family (like Ornamental Tobacco and... potatoes!), Petunia, or Petunia x hybrida, is an annual herbaceous plant. It produces charming bell-shaped flowers on elongated stems, varying in size and colour depending on the variety. Its leaves are slightly pubescent, with smooth edges and dark green. It starts flowering as early as June and continues until the first frost.

Petunias thrive in sunny and wind-sheltered locations. They prefer rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. They are easy to grow but require a lot of water.
