Mambo GP Blue - Petunia

Mambo GP Blue is a blue-flowered, genetically dwarf multiflora petunia with a compact, non-stretching habit. Hem Genetics lists Blue among the Mambo GP selections and describes the series as vigorous in gardens, with large showy flowers. [Hem Genetics](https://www.hemgenetics.nl/en/assortment/petunia/mambo-gp). ## Growth and use This annual series suits packs, pots, containers, garden beds, and landscape plantings. The breeder describes naturally compact plants that hold their shape without stretching and do not generally need growth regulators in production. Use the blue flowers as a cool-toned accent in mixed containers or along a sunny border. ## Placement Choose full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Petunias tend to bloom poorly in very heavy soils. In containers, use a fertile potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.

Feed container plants regularly. Pinch stems later in the season if growth loosens to help maintain a compact shape and continued bloom.
