Surfinia® Red - Petunia

Surfinia® Red is Suntory Flowers’ vivid red selection in the Surfinia petunia line. The [official Surfinia profile](https://www.suntory.co.jp/flower/gardening/lineup/spring/surfinia/) describes Red as branching well, flowering early, and maintaining a dense display; the line is used in containers, hanging planters, and flower beds. ## Growing conditions Give the plant an outdoor position with at least half a day of direct sun. The [Suntory profile](https://www.suntory.co.jp/flower/gardening/lineup/spring/surfinia/) lists a mature height of 15–25 cm and a spread of 70–100 cm, so allow roughly 2.3–3.3 feet of width. Its planting guide suggests one to three plants in a 30 cm round pot or hanging basket, two to three in a 65 cm trough, or four to six plants per square metre in a bed. The listed bloom window is April through October in the source’s growing context; local timing varies. ## Seasonal display The Red selection is described as saturated and clear in color. Suntory’s series profile reports flowering from spring into fall and notes that the plants can spill over the edge of a container. Use the profile’s spacing guidance to leave room for the mature spread rather than crowding several plants together. ## Maintenance Pinch the growing tips and cut the plant back when needed to manage its shape; remove faded flowers. Water thoroughly when the soil surface dries. Suntory recommends diluted liquid fertilizer once or twice a week during active growth.
