Petunia Surfinia Snow

This Petunia Surfinia Snow lives up to its promises: its medium-sized, pure white flowers are early and continue to bloom until the end of summer, covering a vigorous, dense, and trailing vegetation. This variety is ideal for quickly creating a summer decoration, whether in hanging baskets, flower pots, or floral arrangements.

Our hybrid petunias all come from several plants native to the hot regions of South America. The Petunia 'Surfinia Snow' belongs to the Solanaceae family, it is close to ornamental tobacco, for example, and its foliage also contains alkaloids. The 'Surfinia Snow' variety quickly forms a round and spreading clump, 30 cm (11.8 in) tall and 50 cm (19.7 in) in diameter, with a gracefully trailing habit. The plant blooms from June to October, provided it is regularly fertilised. Its cup-shaped flowers are medium-sized, pure white, tightly packed together on dense foliage. The small centre of the corolla is marked with green. The foliage, quite hairy, has entire edges and a dark green colour, it is vigorous and healthy. The Surfinia group of petunias, developed in Japan, shows exceptional flower density and adapts well to all climates.

No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period of time. The results are impressive, as petunias compete with geraniums in terms of splendour and length of flowering, as demonstrated by this Surfinia Snow variety. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets, creating a perfect contrast with the black petunia. You can also plant it in flower beds, to punctuate borders of plants with grey foliage such as cerastium, silver ragwort, or artemisia. If you want to stand out, plant several plants to form an original ground cover at the base of plants with grey foliage such as Faassen's catmints or annual poppies in pastel colors.
