Carpet Pink Morning - Petunia

Carpet Pink Morning is a named selection in PanAmerican Seed’s Carpet multiflora petunia series. The series is described as heat tolerant, well branched, and free flowering, with mid-sized blooms and a compact shape that holds longer under high heat. ([PanAmerican Seed Carpet series](https://www.panamseed.com/PdfAssets/pdfpage.aspx?pdfid=13)) ## Site and seasonal display For hybrid petunias, Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Its group profile notes a wide choice of colors and plant habits, while the RHS botanical profile describes the genus’ trumpet-shaped flowers and late-spring-to-autumn flowering period. These broad descriptions do not establish a specific mature size or detailed color pattern for this named selection, so use the plant’s own label when planning its placement.

RHS container research includes petunias and discusses ways to water baskets and pots. Occasional pinching late in the season can help hybrid petunias stay compact and flowering.
