Perfectunia Red - Petunia

Perfectunia Red is a red selection in Westhoff’s Perfectunia petunia series. Westhoff’s [Perfectunia series details](https://www.westflowers.de/variety/perfectunia-purple/) describe a uniform series across colors, with compact mounds suited to containers, window boxes and gardens. ## Growing conditions Petunias perform best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. [Illinois Extension’s petunia guidance](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) notes that very heavy soils can reduce flowering and lists the plant group as a half-hardy annual. The Perfectunia series is described as early and uniform, with flowering reported from early spring through autumn; local frost and weather determine the practical garden season. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain, especially in containers and window boxes. Illinois Extension notes that occasional pinching late in the season can help keep petunias compact and blooming well. Remove damaged growth as needed, and replace the plant after frost where it is grown as an annual.
