Starlet™ White - Petunia

Starlet™ White is a compact petunia with white flowers for sunny seasonal displays. The [Selecta profile](https://www.selectanorthamerica.com/Trixi/SeriesInfo/?phid=048801428005863) identifies the exact selection as Starlet™ White and lists a mounded series habit, 8–10-inch height, 12–20-inch spread, sun exposure, and use in pots, baskets, and combinations. The [Selecta One 2026 catalog](https://catalog.selectanorthamerica.com/view/891800557/149/) records the variety name Balspunwhi. ## Placement Use Starlet™ White as a bright accent in a container, basket, or mixed planting, leaving room for its broad series spread. The [Illinois Extension petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias. ## Growing Water regularly so the root zone stays evenly moist, while ensuring containers and beds drain freely. Selecta’s culture notes warn that both drying and overwatering can affect plant quality; avoid large swings between very dry and saturated conditions. Heavy soil can limit flowering, so use a well-drained planting medium. ## Maintenance The Starlet series is bred for compact growth without routine pinching. If growth loosens late in the season, a light pinch can help maintain shape and encourage continued blooming, consistent with Illinois Extension’s general petunia guidance. Keep potted plants watered during warm weather.
