Jewel Frosted Sapphire - Petunia

Jewel Frosted Sapphire is the trade name for registered petunia selection MIPEKA001. Canada's variety record describes double, dark-violet flowers with white margins and identifies Miyoshi and Company as the applicant and breeder; a wholesale grower listing gives a 6–8 inch height and recommends it for baskets and containers ([Canadian variety record](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/pet/app00012868e.shtml); [Jewel Frosted Sapphire grower listing](https://www.rushcreekgrowers.com/plant-name/Petunia-Jewel-Frosted-Sapphire)). ## Garden use The double flowers and contrasting edge suit a close-viewing position such as a patio pot or hanging basket. The regulatory description records an upright-to-spreading plant form; allow space around the plant so its flowering stems remain visible. ## Growing conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in soil that remains moist but drains well. General petunia guidance from the [Illinois Extension petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) describes petunias as annuals and recommends full sun with moist, well-drained soil; container plantings need a pot with drainage. ## Maintenance Check container moisture regularly and water as needed rather than leaving the root zone waterlogged. Remove damaged growth and tidy the plant as flowers fade.
