Frost™ Velvet Petunia

Frost™ Velvet is an annual grandiflora petunia with large, showy blooms edged in white. Its vigorous, upright, branching shoots fill a mounding plant 12–14 inches tall and 14–16 inches wide. It flowers from mid-spring through summer and grows in part shade, part sun or full sun.

It can grow in full sun or partial shade. ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70002531)) ## Establishment Acclimate young bedding plants outdoors before planting. Iowa State recommends hardening bedding plants for 7–10 days and notes that petunias can be pinched back to encourage branching.

Remove flowers on blooming annuals during establishment to help plants settle in, as Iowa State advises.
