Sweetunia® Coral Flash - Petunia

Sweetunia Coral Flash has rich salmon flowers that soften to coral at the petal edges. This spreading petunia grows about 8–10 inches tall and can reach up to 24 inches wide, so it suits a sunny bed or a container where its stems can drape over the rim.

Its trailing spread can soften the edge of a mixed container or hanging basket, while the warm flower tones pair well with contrasting purple or blue companions. Water based on weather, soil and container size; pots may need more frequent checks than in-ground plantings. Petunias are half-hardy annuals in Illinois, so treat them as seasonal color where frost occurs.

Remove faded flowers for a tidier display, and keep containers draining freely so roots are not left in standing water.
