Petunia Parure Mix

'Parure Mix' Petunias produce large single and unique flowers, striped with white on a pink, yellow, or purple background depending on the plants. These plants bloom early in the season and continue flowering until October. These easy to grow annuals grow very quickly and will decorate the terrace and garden for almost 6 months, with little maintenance required.

Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the warm regions of South America. Petunia 'Parure Mix' belongs to the Solanaceae family and is closely related to ornamental tobacco. Its foliage also contains alkaloids. This selection forms a round and semi-trailing clump of 25 to 35 cm (10 to 14in) high and 40-50 cm (16-20in) in diameter in record time. Each plant flowers from May-June to October, provided it is well-watered and regularly fed. Its large, cup-shaped flowers are tightly packed together on vigorous and healthy, dense foliage. The quite hairy, dark green leaves have entire edges.

No other flowering annual plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias rival pelargoniums in splendour and length of flowering, as demonstrated by this beautiful 'Parure Mix' selection. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets. You can also plant your petunias in flower beds or use them to liven up borders. If you want to stand out, plant several to create an original ground cover at the base of your favourite plants, in harmonious colours.
