Potunia Dark Red - Petunia

Potunia Dark Red is an annual petunia with deep red flowers and a rounded, mounded habit. It brings saturated color to containers, baskets, and sunny beds. [Dümmen Orange](https://emea.dummenorange.com/site/en/products/power-brands?brand=potunia) describes Potunia as a garden-performance petunia family with a rounded form and strong flowering. ## Growth and use Potunia is suited to pots, baskets, and mass plantings, where its compact outline can fill a space without a trailing habit. Plant it in groups for a broad sweep of red or use it as a focal color among lighter annuals. Petunias are half-hardy annuals and have a broad range of flower colors and forms. [Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia). ## Placement Choose full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Petunias tend to bloom poorly in very heavy soil. In containers, use a fertile mix and a pot with drainage holes. ## Maintenance Check soil moisture regularly and water when the surface begins to dry, keeping the root zone moist without leaving the pot waterlogged. Feed container plantings regularly. Pinch stems late in the season if growth loosens to help keep the plant compact and flowering.
