Description
Petunia milliflora 'Picobella Cascade' is one of the first pendulous mini-petunias. This selection brings together plants with a naturally branching and spreading habit, whose stems are covered with single flowers in various colours of red, purple, lavender mauve, sky blue, soft pink, coral pink, salmon or white depending on the plants. They are also very early varieties, capable of flowering from May until the first frost. Whether used alone or in combination with other flowers in summer compositions and hanging baskets, Picobella Cascade petunias are essential for bringing the terrace or balcony to life for 6 months. They are easy annuals to grow in the sun, in fertile, light and moist soil.
Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the warm regions of South America. Petunia milliflora 'Picobella Cascade' belongs to the Solanaceae family and is close to ornamental tobacco in particular, its foliage also containing alkaloids. This variety quickly forms a dense spreading clump, with trailing stems, 25 cm (9.8 in) in height and 40-50cm in diameter, naturally well-groomed until the end of the season. The plant is in bloom from May to October, provided it is watered well and regularly supplied with fertiliser. Its cup-shaped flowers are small in size, but numerous and tightly packed together on small dense foliage. The leaves, quite downy with entire edges and of a medium green colour, are vigorous and healthy.
No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive, as petunias compete with pelargoniums for the splendour and length of their flowering period, as evidenced by this recent selection. Install these petunias in large pots or hanging baskets for stunning results. You can also plant them in borders to punctuate grey foliage plants such as cerastium, sea cineraria, or artemisia. To stand out, plant several together to create an original ground cover at the base of other plants, playing with harmony or colour contrasts.
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
Petunias can be planted in open ground or in pots. If planting in open ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (they will tolerate a minor late frost). In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Petunias will flower from May-June to October. Plant them out in a sunny or partially shaded site sheltered from the wind. They need a light, humus-rich but above all well-drained soil. Do not water them too much at the beginning of the growing season as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. Very floriferous and fast-growing, they are hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking attractive and to prolong flowering.

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.
