Frost™ Cherry is a named Syngenta Flowers selection in the Petunia grandiflora group, identified in the company’s catalog by its exact selection name and code. The page identifies Frost Cherry (70020235), gives an upright habit in sun, flowering from mid-spring through summer, and garden height and width of 30–35 cm. It lists the flower color as pink/rose; the series is described as a bright picotee range. Syngenta describes the Frost range as upright and well-branched, suited to packs, small pots and bedding. [Syngenta Flowers selection page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/emea/product/flower/70020235). Petunias are half-hardy annuals for seasonal color. Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil, and notes that heavy soil can reduce flowering. Use a pot with drainage or a free-draining bed, and keep the soil moist without leaving roots waterlogged.

Remove tired growth as needed and keep the soil evenly moist with good drainage.
