Description

The Super Cascade Improved Petunia is a remarkable variety of Petunia. Its long trailing stems are covered in a cascade of large flowers from June to the first frost. It is offered in a mix of 8 colours. It is particularly resistant to climatic fluctuations. Ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and borders or ground cover.

It is a highly valued plant for its generosity and the length of its flowering period.

The Super Cascade Improved is very versatile and can be planted in borders, beds, or pots, as well as hanging baskets, where it will look stunning on its own or accompanied by Heliotropes, Monardas, or even Holcus mollis for a modern and contrasting effect.

Originally 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 bears charming bell-shaped flowers on elongated stems, with the size and colour varying depending on the variety. Its leaves are slightly pubescent, with smooth edges and dark green. It blooms from June onwards and lasts until the first frost.

Petunias thrive in sunny and sheltered locations. They should be planted in rich, light, and well-drained soil or substrate. They are easy to grow, but they require plenty of water.

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

 

Attention: these seeds are reserved for experienced gardeners used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust and 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.
