Sunshine Ray - Petunia

Sunshine Ray is a named yellow-flowered petunia selection. Petunias are half-hardy annuals grown for their colorful flowers and adaptable use in garden beds and containers. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny position with moist, well-drained soil. Illinois Extension lists full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias and gives May through October as a general bloom season. It also notes that heavy soils can reduce flowering. This broad guidance suits the species and does not assign a specific size or other selection trait to Sunshine Ray. ## Container care Water to keep the root zone from drying completely, especially for plants in pots or hanging baskets, and allow excess water to drain. Remove damaged stems and spent flowers when desired to keep the display tidy.
