Description
The Petunia Sophistica Blackberry, originating from South America, is remarkable for its astonishing black colour. It forms a veritable cascade of large single flowers from June to October. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, cultivated as an annual in European climates. A creeping hybrid plant.
This Petunia is very floriferous and of great interest in hanging baskets with its long, densely hairy stems. It measures 30 to 40cm (15.7 in) in height. The flowers are 5 to 6cm (2 - 2.4 in) in diameter and consist of five petals arranged in a circular manner, with a single flower per peduncle.
Resistant to drought and heat, they appreciate full sun or partial shade. The Petunia Sophistica Blackberry has rapid and vigorous growth.
Green plants measuring 4 to 8cm (1.6 - 3.1 in) sold as sets of 5 small plug plants measuring 2.5cm (1 in) in diameter and 4cm (1.6 in) in height. Our plants are at least eight weeks old and are strong enough to be planted in open ground.
Pairs well with the Petunia Sophistica Lime Green.
Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, frame) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before planting outside once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Sophistica Blackberry petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to grow them in open ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (petunias can tolerate a minor late frost). In the meantime, pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to speed up their growth. Petunias will bloom from June to October. Plant Sophistica Blackberry petunias in sun or partial shade, sheltered from the wind. They need a light and humus-rich but most importantly well-draining soil. Do not overwater at the start of the growing season as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well but will need regular watering during hot summer periods. Petunias are susceptible to frost (minimum -1°C). Very floriferous and fast-growing, they are hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for surfinias once or twice a week during the growing season. 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.
