Picobella™ Lavender Petunia

Picobella™ Lavender is a compact lavender-flowered Petunia milliflora with a mounding habit. Syngenta lists this named selection at 8–10 inches tall and wide, with flowers from mid spring through summer. ## Site and season Use it in small beds, borders, or mixed containers, where the petite lavender blooms can brighten the foreground without overwhelming neighboring plants. The [Picobella Lavender profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70054309) confirms the selected name and code, lists exposure from part shade through full sun, and describes the plant as pollinator friendly. ## Growing Petunias grow best in moist, well-drained soil and may flower poorly in very heavy ground. Water thoroughly when the root zone starts to dry, especially in containers, and allow excess water to drain. The breeder lists flowering from mid spring through summer. ## Maintenance A light pinch late in the season can help keep the mound compact.
