Ez Rider® Blue Petunia

Ez Rider® Blue is a compact, mounded grandiflora petunia selection suited to garden beds and containers. Ball Seed lists a height of 6–10 inches, a width of 8–12 inches, sun exposure, medium water, and bloom from early spring through late summer for this exact Blue selection. ## Placement and bloom Choose a sunny site with room for the mature size. Its compact mound suits patio pots, mixed containers, and sunny bed edges. Leave enough space for the listed spread and pair it with plants that have similar light and moisture needs. See the exact selection on the [Ball Seed product page](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=048606512000616). ## Growing notes Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias and notes that very heavy soil can limit flowering. Keep the root zone evenly moist and let excess water drain. Use these petunias as seasonal annual color and replace them when frost ends the display. For general species guidance, see [Illinois Extension petunia care](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia). ## Maintenance Check containers and baskets regularly because their growing medium dries faster than a garden bed. Pinch stems occasionally late in the season to help keep plants compact and blooming well, following Illinois Extension’s petunia guidance. The listed bloom windows extend through summer and into late summer; adjust irrigation to rainfall, heat, and container size.
