Petunia surfina Baskets
I've always brought hanging baskets ready planted and in bloom but this year i've ordered some petunia surfina jumbo plugs online but need advice. The plugs have arrived but what to do now, do i plant them in the baskets and hang them in my greenhouse until they are ready or do i pot them up and grow them on first.

Pot them on first for 3 to 4 weeks then put them in the baskets as they will get stronger in each pot better than competing with each other in a basket as a young plug.
Cheers Andy
Quick question. When i unpacked the plug plants i noticed that some of the plugs have different leaves. Do trailing Petunia have different leaves or have they not given me what i ordered which was 24 trailing Petunia plugs.
The bottom 2 are definitely not petunia. Cant tell with the top one
Im a bit of a novice, but the 3rd one looks like a verbena
Agreed; they may well be trailing plants but the last two are not petunias. I would send the photos back to the supplier and ask for replacements.
thanks ive emailed the supplier and awaiting a responce.
Voyager, it looks as if they have sent you a mixed trailing selection for a basket. I hope they replace them for you, and you get your Surfinia petunias.
1...petunia
2...pelargonium not a trailing one.
3...verbena too soon to tell if it will trail
And another basket plant in the first picture, bottom right (cant remember the name but furry leaves).
