Amore® Heart & Soul Petunia hybrida

Amore® Heart & Soul is a Danziger AMORE® petunia with large, single blooms and the series’ distinctive heart-shaped flower pattern. Danziger describes this selection as mounded, medium in growth intensity, early flowering, 10–12 inches tall, and 14–18 inches wide. ### Placement and Growing Conditions Plant Heart & Soul in a hanging basket, container, or sunny landscape bed. Petunias perform best in full sun and porous, well-drained soil. Its moderate footprint suits patio displays and the front of a border, where the large patterned flowers can be appreciated without crowding nearby plants. ### Seasonal Interest Danziger describes the AMORE® flowers as having a stable pattern and lists Heart & Soul as an early-flowering variety. The page identifies the botanical crop as Petunia hybrida; the named selection remains Amore® Heart & Soul. Danziger’s plant page also lists United States Patent 7,642,436; this records the cited number without making a claim about present legal status. ## Maintenance Avoid waterlogged soil, particularly in containers. Missouri Extension recommends full sun and well-drained, porous soil for petunias and notes that overwatering can contribute to root rot. Check container moisture during hot weather and water when needed. Vegetatively propagated petunias may be heavier feeders, so adjust fertilizer to vigor. Deadheading is not essential but can increase flower production.
