Amore® Queen of Hearts

Amore® Queen of Hearts is a mounded, medium-vigor Petunia hybrida with large single flowers and the series’ distinctive stable heart-shaped pattern. Danziger describes it as an early-flowering selection for landscapes and hanging baskets, growing 10–12 inches tall and 14–18 inches wide; its product page also lists U.S. Patent 7,642,436. ## Garden Use Use the compact mound in a seasonal container or hanging basket, or as a flowering accent in the landscape. Its large, single flowers and repeated pattern make it useful in mixed plantings. The product page highlights the stable heart-shaped flower pattern. Danziger identifies the selection as early flowering. See the [Danziger plant detail page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/amore-queen-of-hearts/) for selection-specific form, uses and dimensions. ## Growing Conditions Illinois Extension describes garden petunias as annuals for full sun and moist, well-drained soil; it notes that very heavy soil can reduce flowering. Keep the root zone from drying completely while avoiding persistently saturated growing media. For general petunia care, consult [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) and [Danziger’s Amore growing tips](https://www.danzigeronline.com/blog/petunia-growing-tips/), which recommend avoiding oversaturated media and low light in production. ## Maintenance Illinois Extension recommends occasional late-season pinching to keep plants compact and flowering well. Apply only light trimming when stems become loose; the Amore selections have a naturally mounded form. Danziger lists U.S. Patent 7,642,436 on the Queen of Hearts product page; this records the number shown there without asserting current legal status.
