Littletunia™ Bright Red Petunia hybrida

Littletunia® Bright Red is a compact, mounded hybrid petunia with bright red flowers. Danziger lists this exact selection as early flowering, with small, single blooms, a mature height of about 6–8 inches, and a width of 10–12 inches; the breeder identifies pots, hanging baskets, ground-cover use, and landscape plantings as suitable applications. [Danziger](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/littletunia-bright-red/) ## Garden Use The low rounded form makes this selection useful near the edge of a seasonal bed or in a container where its red color can stand out. It can also be grouped with other Littletunia® colors in baskets or color bowls. Danziger describes the series as having small flowers and season-long garden and patio value. ## Siting Plant in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) notes that petunias tend not to flower well in very heavy soils. Allow room for the listed 10–12-inch spread, and choose a pot with drainage so excess water can escape. ## Maintenance Check soil moisture often in containers, watering when the mix begins to dry rather than letting it remain waterlogged. Occasional pinching late in the season helps keep petunias compact and flowering well, according to [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia).
