Carpet Salmon - Petunia

Carpet Salmon is a salmon-pink petunia for sunny seasonal plantings, including containers and garden beds. Its product listing describes compact, basal-branching growth and early flowers; Illinois Extension gives broader petunia guidance for full sun, moist, well-drained soil, and a May-to-October flowering season. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny site and soil that drains freely while retaining moisture. Petunias tend to flower poorly in very heavy soil, so improve drainage before planting or use a free-draining container mix. The seed listing notes good rain and heat tolerance for Carpet Salmon; local weather and watering still affect performance. ## Flowering and placement The compact habit suits the front of a border, an edging row, or a planter where the salmon-pink flowers can be seen up close. Pair it with plants that do not crowd its base, and allow air to move around the foliage. See [Carpet Salmon product information](https://www.seedsforafrica.co.za/collections/newest-products/products/petunia-carpet-salmon-10-seeds) and [Illinois Extension petunia guidance](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia). ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving it waterlogged. Occasional pinching late in the season helps keep petunias compact and flowering well; remove damaged growth as needed.
