Description
The Petunia Tiny Pleasure Double Blue Vein is a recent and compact variety that is highly resistant. It has double flowers with flared trumpets, tinted with purple veined with dark violet. It is also known for its long flowering period, from spring to autumn, with a few care requirements. Ideal for small gardens, hanging baskets, and containers.
Our hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the hot regions of South America. The Petunia Tiny Pleasure belongs to the solanaceae family, it is closely related to ornamental tobacco, for example, and its foliage also contains alkaloids. Very floriferous, the 'Tiny Pleasure' variety is a selection intended for pot cultivation, its growth is much more compact than traditional varieties and its stems are shorter, resulting in a dense and well-filled flowering that renews itself from May-June to October. The Double Blue Vein petunia measures 20 to 30cm (8 to 12in) in height and width. The flowers measure 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) in diameter. Its foliage, very different from that of other petunias, is composed of small, thick, and velvety oval leaves, medium green.
No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense and long-lasting selection by breeders. The results are impressive, as petunias rival geraniums in splendor and length of flowering. Plant them in large pots or hanging baskets. Resistant to drought and heat, the Double Blue Vein Petunia appreciates sunny locations and has rapid and vigorous growth.
Green plants measuring 4 to 8cm (2 to 3in) in plug plants of 5 small plugs with a diameter of 2.5cm (1in) and a height of 4 cm (2in). Our plants are at least eight weeks old and are strong enough to be planted in the ground.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (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 been definitively eliminated.

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.
