Success Burgundy - Petunia

Success Burgundy is the burgundy color form in Benary’s early Success petunia series. A [Success series profile](https://www.greenhousegrower.com/crops/new-petunias-making-their-debut-in-2015/) names Success Burgundy and describes the group as early flowering, mounded, and spreading. Petunias are dependable annuals; the [Illinois Extension petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil. ## Placement Use Success Burgundy for seasonal color in a sunny bed, border, or patio container, with room for the mounded, spreading form. Petunias vary in habit, and Illinois Extension notes that the group includes both trailing ground-cover types and taller plants, so allow space suited to the plant’s existing size information. ## Growing Choose a well-drained planting mix and keep moisture regular through active growth. Avoid heavy soil, which may reduce flowering, and do not leave pots standing in water. In containers, check moisture more often during warm, windy weather. ## Maintenance Occasional light pinching late in the season can help maintain a compact shape and encourage continued flowering. Remove only growth needed to keep the plant in bounds, and maintain even watering as temperatures rise.
