Petunias also suit containers and seasonal groundcover; choose a container with drainage and adjust watering to weather, pot size, and site. [UF/IFAS petunia guidance](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/petunias/) ## Maintenance Water thoroughly enough to moisten the root zone and avoid frequent shallow watering. UF/IFAS recommends monthly balanced fertilizer for petunias generally; follow the product label and local guidance. Pinch growing tips if fuller branching is desired. Many small-flowered petunias self-clean, while large-flowered and double types may need deadheading; remove faded flowers when tidiness calls for it.
