Selecta lists this named variety for sun, pots, baskets, and combinations, with the series described as early-flowering and mounded. ## Placement and season Use Pink Lemonade in a sunny container or seasonal combination. Selecta gives a series height of 8–10 inches and spread of 12–20 inches, and identifies Pink Lemonade as a flowering-only licensed selection. [Exact Selecta Pink Lemonade page](https://www.selectanorthamerica.com/PlantSearch/SeriesInfo/?phid=048801428015352) ## Growing conditions Petunias prefer moist, well-drained soil. Avoid very heavy soil, which can reduce flowering. Illinois Extension describes petunias as half-hardy annuals and lists May through October for Illinois; local planting and flowering dates vary with frost and climate.

If stems stretch late in the season, occasional pinching can help maintain a compact plant and continued bloom.
