Famous Lilac Dark Vein - Petunia

Famous Lilac Dark Vein is a named petunia selection in the Famous line. A university research record documents work on plants under this exact selection name, while Selecta describes the Famous line as well-branched, semivigorous and early flowering ([Leibniz University research record](https://research.uni-hannover.de/de/publications/molecular-breeding-of-petunia-hybrida-famous-lilac-dark-vein-for-/); [Selecta Famous series](https://selecta-one.com/en/assortment/overview/petunia/famous?cHash=ba3b526d1b3de42992766bffbfdc14a2&series=6610)). ## Growing Conditions Grow petunias in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Heavy soil can reduce flowering. Petunias are warm-season annuals in many gardens, with a long flowering season when warmth and light are adequate ([Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia)). ## Garden Use Use this selection in a sunny container, window box or front-of-border planting where the flower pattern can be appreciated. Keep plants spaced for air movement and avoid placing containers where water collects around the roots. ## Maintenance Check containers regularly because they dry faster than garden beds. Water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, then let excess drain away. Light pinching late in the season can help maintain a compact outline and support continued flowering.
