Petunia hybrida Sophistica Blackberry

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.
