Size of Petunias and quantity of Calibrachoa from Suttons
If you want the WOW factor in your containers this summer, look no further than the new introduction from Suttons, Super Petunias.
They are technically an intergeneric hybrid of Petunias and Calibrachoa, combining the best of each, so you get the flower size of Petunias and the quantity of Calibrachoa. Super Petunias (x Petchoa BeautiCal) have a neat compact mounding habit and large, trumpet-shaped flowers, ideal for hanging baskets and pots. Here’s more on trailing petunias.
The showy blooms come in a range of vibrant colours, including Caramel Yellow, red Bordeaux, Sunray Pink, light yellow French Vanilla and a spicy orange Cinnamon.
Strong, textured, weather-resistant Super Petunia flowers
Unlike the usual Petunia, the flowers are textured and strong, and recover from showers, helping them to remain healthy and cope with excess heat well. They’re mildew-resistant, and the blooms are also non-sticky, which makes deadheading a more pleasant job.
Super Petunias (x Petchoa BeautiCal) are available as Super Plugs, delivered by late April/May each spring. For prices and more information, visit www.suttons.co.uk. Read more on growing petunias.
