Description
Petunia 'Blueberry Star' produces upright and compact clumps, fully covered with single, medium-sized flowers on which the pattern of a blue-violet star stands out against a white background. These vigorous plants flower continuously until October. This annual brings dynamism to flower beds, flower pots and hanging baskets. To be grown in sunny, fertile, light and moist soil.
Hybrid petunias all come from several plants originating from the warm regions of South America. Petunia 'Blueberry Star' belongs to the solanaceae family, it is similar to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. This variety quickly forms a round and dense clump of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) high and 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20in) in diameter, with a very solid appearance. The plant will bloom from May to October, provided it is well-watered and regularly fed. Its cup-shaped, medium-sized flowers are very vibrant, blue-violet and white, tightly packed together on dense foliage. The small centre of the corolla is marked with dark violet. The hairy, dark green leaves have entire edges. The foliage is vigorous and healthy.
No other annual flowering plant has received such intense selection from breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias compete with geraniums for the splendour and length of their flowering, as demonstrated by this 'Blueberry Star' variety. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets, creating a perfect contrast with black-flowered petunias. You can also plant it in flower beds, to edge borders of plants with grey foliage such as cerastiums, sea cinerarias or artemisias. If you want it to stand out, plant several plants to create an original ground cover at the base of plants with grey foliage such as faasseni catmints or annual poppies in pastel colours.
Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed, they will tolerate a little late frost. In the meantime, you can grow them on in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Petunias will flower from June to October. Plant them in a sunny or partially shaded location sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich, well-drained soil. Do not water them too much at the beginning of growth as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. They are floriferous with rapid growth, and hungry. We recommend feeding them with liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear, to keep them looking beautiful and extend the flowering period.

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.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
