Madness® Magenta - Petunia

Madness® Magenta is a single-flowered floribunda petunia with mounded, upright growth and a vivid magenta display. Ball lists a mature height of 10–15 inches, spread of 10–12 inches, medium water needs, bee attraction, and flowering from spring through late summer. ## Site and bloom Set this annual in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. The [Ball plant information page](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=048600864003083&env=P) describes a floriferous display in pots, beds, and mass plantings; [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) notes that petunias usually bloom from May through October in Illinois. ## Garden use Use it in a container or sunny bed where the mounded plants can fill space with seasonal color. It also suits repeated mass planting, and its flowers provide a documented bee-attracting feature in pollinator-friendly designs. ## Maintenance Keep moisture moderate and fertilize weekly as recommended on the Ball plant page. Occasional pinching late in the season can promote fresh branching and continued flowers; avoid heavy soil that drains poorly.
