Hello, I am convinced that removing the SUMO ROES petunia from your website would be more logical, as it has been absent for many seasons.

Description
Petunia Surfinia Sumo Rose is an variety introduced in 2016 that possesses all the characteristics of a superlative plant. It has exceptional vigour, making it a magnificent giant, completely covered with very large bright pink flowers overflowing from its container in less than two months. With faster growth than other surfinias and double the floribundity, this extraordinary variety is becoming a star on terraces and balconies, especially since it is easy to grow even in hot weather.
Petunia belongs to the solanaceae family; it is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. The Surfinia Petunia is a fairly recent, sterile hybrid of petunia with a trailing and weeping habit, which makes it a magnificent plant for hanging baskets. It was created in Japan and is distinguished by its beautiful and very long flowering. The 'Sumo' series, developed in Japan, displays has rapid and vigorous growth, with a dense cushion shape and large, 6-7 cm (2-3in) wide flowers in very bright colours.
Petunia Surfinia 'Sumo Rose' forms a bushy and trailing clump that reaches 50 cm (20in) high and 1m (3ft) in diameter. The plant flowers from June to October, provided that faded flowers are regularly removed and it is regularly fed. Its large, cup-shaped flowers are very bright and fresh pink, tightly packed together on all of the dense foliage. The small centre of the corolla is marked with black. The vigorous and healthy, hairy foliage is wider than other varieties with entire edges and a dark green colour. This variety has exceptional growth and tolerates heat well.
No other annual flowering plant has been subjected to such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias compete with geraniums for the splendour and length of their flowering, as evidenced by this vigorous Surfinia Sumo Rose variety. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets, creating a perfect contrast with dark blue Surfinia petunias. You can also plant it in flower beds, to edge borders of plants with grey foliage such as cerastiums, cinerarias, or artemisias. If you want it to stand out, plant several to create an original ground cover at the base of plants with grey foliage such as nepetas faasseni or pastel-coloured annual poppies.
Note: Please be aware that plug plants are products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered areas (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) 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 small late frost). In the meantime, you can grow them on in a pot in a warm and bright place to speed up 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 once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as you go to keep them looking beautiful 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.
