Dekko™ Banana Petunia

Dekko™ Banana is a Syngenta Petunia hybrida selection, product 70083317. Syngenta’s Dekko sell sheet gives the series a spreading habit, full-sun exposure, early-spring-through-summer flowering, and garden dimensions of 8–12 inches high by 18–22 inches wide. It lists Dekko Banana by name and product number, and describes the series for mixed combinations and baskets through landscape use.

The sheet lists several pot sizes as well as hanging-basket formats for the series. Give petunias full sun; Iowa State University Extension recommends at least six hours of direct sunlight and moderately fertile, well-drained soil.

The exact product name and number distinguish Banana from other Dekko colors and forms.

Illinois Extension notes that very heavy soil can reduce petunia flowering and that occasional late-season pinching can help plants remain compact and blooming. Check hanging baskets and containers regularly as they can dry quickly. [Illinois Extension petunia care](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia).
