This is a relatively recent addition to the Petunia range and is generally treated as a half hardy perennial in the UK.

As with most other Petunia, they require a light well drained soil in a sheltered sunny spot.

They also make good container or hanging basket plants due their trailing habit.

They are quite tolerant to wind & rain and provided they are deadheaded regularly, they will flower until the onset of frost, after which, they should be lifted, potted up, and placed under the greenhouse bench for the winter.

Week 6>; Water plants and place in a warm spot, circa 13°C (55°F) to encourage new growth.

Week 7; Sow seed in pots/trays of seed compost and germinate at a temperature of 21 °C (70°F).

Germination should take around a week

Week 12;When seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out into 70mm pots of potting compost.

Gradually harden the plants off by subjecting them to cooler conditions until planting out time in May, or when all fear of late frosts has past.

n.b. Surfinias; (as mentioned above) are produced from cuttings under copyright, and seeds can not be purchased commercially.

However by saving seed after flowering, one can sometimes get reasonable success*

* plants may not come true to variety.

Week 13; Take 50-75mmmm (2"-3") long tip cuttings

Cut the stem under a leaf node, and remove the lower leaves to expose approx 25-50mm (1"-2") of stem.

Dip the stem in a rooting powder/liquid, and insert in to pots/trays containing a 50-50 peat* and sand mixture

*Multi-purpose compost can be used in lieu of peat& sand.

Maintain a minimum temperature of 10°-13°C(50°-55°F) when rooting the cuttings, a little bottom heat can be of a distinct advantage at this stage.

Rooting should take place in about 10-14 days.

Week 15; When rooted pot up into 75mm (3") pots of potting compost and gradually harden the plants off by subjecting them to cooler conditions, until planting out time in May, or when all fear of late frosts has past.
