Description
Petunia Cranberry Blast is a sensational novelty in the world of hybrid petunias. This annual plant has a spreading habit and rapid and vigorous growth, which will dress up pots and hanging baskets in just a few weeks. It offers saucer-shaped flowers in two shades of pink, pale pink and bright pink. Its opulent foliage disappears under variegated cascades of flowers from summer to frost. Plant in full sun, in rich and moist soil.
Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the hot regions of South America. The Cranberry Blast Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family and is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. The 'Cranberry Blast' variety forms a round clump 80 cm (32in) tall and 40 cm (16in) in diameter in record time, with a gracefully trailing habit. The plant is in bloom from June to October, provided that faded flowers are regularly removed and it is regularly fed. Its cup-shaped, medium-sized flowers are widely marked with bright pink on a pale pink background bordered with pink. The small centre of the corolla is marked with purple. The hairy, dark green foliage has entire edges.
No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by 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 Cranberry Blast variety. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets or plant them in borders, to edge grey foliage plants such as dusty miller or wormwood.
Note: Please be aware that plug plants are products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost is passed.

Planting and care
Plant your petunias in a sunny location or partial shade, in a spot sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-bearing soil and greatly appreciate being fed. You can plant your Petunias in a pot. Water regularly and feed every two weeks maintain flowering and intensify the colours. Regularly remove faded flowers. Severely pinch the tips of the stems to encourage the plant to branch out further.

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).
