Starlet™ Mix - Petunia

Starlet™ Mix is a mixed-color petunia selection in the Starlet range. Its varied blooms bring changing color to seasonal container combinations. ## Placement and season Grow petunias in full sun and use the mix in a seasonal display where varied color is useful. The Starlet series is described for container, basket, and combination planting; the precise mixture contents are not specified here. [Selecta Starlet series information](https://www.selectanorthamerica.com/PlantSearch/SeriesInfo/?phid=048801428015352) ## Growing conditions Petunias prefer moist, well-drained soil. Illinois Extension describes them as half-hardy annuals and notes that heavy soil can reduce flowering. Schedule planting around local frost conditions; the Illinois bloom calendar is not a universal season for every region.

If plants stretch late in the season, occasional pinching can help maintain a compact habit and encourage continued flowering, according to Illinois Extension.
