Madness Salmon Morning - Petunia

Madness Salmon Morning has salmon-toned petals surrounding a contrasting white throat, with green foliage. Its compact growth and seasonal color suit containers, window boxes, and the front of annual beds. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) gives general petunia culture guidance. ## Growth and use Petunias are half-hardy annuals with a broad range of flower colors and growth habits. Pair these warm salmon tones with white, blue, or purple annuals for contrast in a patio pot or mixed bed. Its compact habit suits smaller container and border plantings. ## Placement Grow in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Petunias tend to flower poorly in heavy soils. For containers, use a fertile potting mix and ensure excess water can drain freely.

Feed container plantings regularly. If stems loosen late in the season, pinch them back to encourage compact growth and continued flowering.
