Success Violet - Petunia

Success Violet is an annual petunia in Benary’s Success! series, with violet-pink flowers and a compact, mounded, spreading habit. A retail grower listing describes plants around 12 inches tall and 30 inches wide, suited to baskets, containers, and garden beds. ## Growing conditions Give this petunia full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Illinois Extension lists May through October as the general petunia bloom season and recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Success! is bred for uniform, early flowering; the series article describes Violet as tightly mounded. Keep container soil evenly moist and let excess water drain. ## Container care Check pots frequently during warm, dry weather because containers lose moisture faster than garden beds. Remove damaged growth and give the spreading stems room to fill the edge of a pot or bed. Follow the fertilizer directions for the selected container mix.
