If the petunias arrived in poor condition, they recovered well after planting. However, they are very dark and not all the plants have the expected white edging at the tips of the petals...

Description
Petunia Surfinia Blue Picotee is a brand new variety of early and vigorous petunia, whose large funnel-shaped flowers astonish with their stable and remarkably contrasting colouration, deep blue, regularly edged in white and darkened with an elegant black throat. They bloom until the first frosts, on a plant of excellent durability covered in flowers throughout the season. A reliable, easy, and spectacular plant in flower pots, flower beds, and hanging baskets!
Petunia belongs to the solanaceae family. It is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. These annual, biennial, or tender perennial plants are most often grown as annuals and are all native to the warm regions of South America.
Petunia Surfinia Blue Picotee is a very recent cultivar with large flowers, introduced in 2018. It forms a dense, rounded, semi-trailing clump with firm and velvety stems that rise without collapsing to 30-40cm (12-16in) and spread gracefully up to 60 cm (24in). The plant is continuously in bloom from May to October, provided it is regularly supplied with water and fertiliser. Its cup-shaped flowers are large, approximately 7 cm (3in) in diameter, a very deep blue colour with a dark throat, bordered by a regular white margin. They open on dense, vigorous, relatively disease-resistant foliage composed of oval and pointed, dark green leaves that have entire edges. This variety requires very little maintenance: simply remove faded flowers regularly.
No other flowering annual plant has been subjected to such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias rival geraniums in terms of the splendour and duration of their flowering, as demonstrated by this reliable, very elegant, and unusual Blue Picotee variety. Plant it in large, dark-coloured, black or grey designer flower pots or in hanging baskets to creare a perfect contrast with white petunia varieties. You can also plant it in flower beds, to edge borders of plants with grey or white foliage, such as dusty miller, sea cineraria, or wormwood. If you want it to stand out, plant several plants to create an original ground cover at the base of plants with grey foliage, such as Faassen's nepeta or annual poppies in pastel colours. Use its flowers to decorate a floral centrepiece, sprinkled with silver glitter, for example, to surprise your guests!
Note: Please be aware that plug plants are products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (surfinia petunias can tolerate a light, late frost). In the meantime, you can grow them on in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Plant your petunias in a sunny location sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-rich, 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. They are floriferous and fast-growing, hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for petunias once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking good 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.
