Carpet Neptune Mix - Petunia

Carpet Neptune Mix is a named mixed selection in PanAmerican Seed’s Carpet multiflora petunia series. Carpet petunias are described by the breeder as heat tolerant and free flowering, with excellent branching, mid-sized blooms, and a compact form that holds longer in hot conditions. ([PanAmerican Seed Carpet series](https://www.panamseed.com/PdfAssets/pdfpage.aspx?pdfid=13)) ## Site and seasonal display Choose a sunny location with moist, well-drained soil for the general hybrid-petunia profile. The Carpet series is intended for gardens and commercial landscapes, and Illinois Extension notes that hybrid petunias span many flower colors and growth forms. Keep Neptune Mix’s name intact when sourcing it; a series-level description does not define the exact color recipe of a particular mix.

Container conditions dry at different rates, so the RHS watering research on petunias and other basket plants is useful context for checking actual moisture rather than following a fixed calendar. Late-season pinching can help petunias remain compact and bloom well.
