Most bedding petunia varieties can be classified as one of two kinds: Multifloras, which have a large number of smaller flowers that tend to be more weather-resistant, and Grandifloras, which have large, showy blooms but are vulnerable to wind and rain unless they’re grown in sheltered conditions.
Petunia ‘Surfinia Lime’ is a spectacular cascading Grandiflora petunia, which is more weather resistant than other Grandiflora petunias. It bears large, white blooms with a lime-green blush. Petunia ‘Surfinia Lime’ is ideal for growing in containers and hanging baskets, and also makes good ground cover.
For best results, grow Petunia ‘Surfinia Lime’ in full sun in a sheltered spot, and keep plants well watered. Feed fortnightly with high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.
