Shortcake™ Raspberry Petunia

Shortcake™ Raspberry is a compact, spreading petunia in Syngenta’s Shortcake™ series, with pink-rose flowers and full-sun exposure. Syngenta lists an 8–12-inch garden height and 18–22-inch width, flowering from early spring through summer, and pollinator-friendly performance; the versatile habit suits small pots, combinations, and larger garden displays. [The exact Raspberry product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70099023) identifies selection 70099023 and its garden traits. ## Growing Give the plant full sun and moist, well-drained soil. In pots and hanging baskets, use drainage holes and check moisture frequently during hot or windy periods. In a bed, leave room for the spreading stems to develop without covering low neighboring plants. [Illinois Extension’s petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) describes petunias as annuals for sunny sites and recommends well-drained soil. ## Maintenance Water consistently while allowing excess water to drain. Pinch lanky stems late in the season if needed to maintain a compact display; Illinois Extension notes that occasional pinching can support compact growth and continued flowering.
