Petunia Merlot

Petunia 'Merlot', originating from South America, is remarkable for its stunning pink flowers veined with dark pink (unusual colour for petunias). It forms a true cascade of large single flowers from June to October. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, grown as an annual in our climate. It is hybrid and creeping.

This Surfinia Petunia is very floriferous and very interesting in hanging baskets with its long densely hairy stems. It measures between 30 and 50cm (19.7 in) in height. The flowers are 5 to 6 cm (2 - 2.4 in) in diameter. They consist of five petals arranged in a circular manner with a single flower per peduncle.

Resistant to drought and heat, they appreciate sunny situations. The Supertunia Petunia has rapid and vigorous growth.

Young plants measuring 4 to 8cm (1.6 - 3.1 in) in small 5-packs of 2.5cm (0.8 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 the ground.

Note: Attention, our young plants in small packs are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, frame...) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.
