Damask Carmine - Petunia

Damask Carmine is a red-flowered annual Petunia multiflora selection in Syngenta’s Damask series, listed as product 70041002. Its compact mounding habit and early, uniform flowering make it a useful choice for packs, small pots, and close-set seasonal displays. ## Placement and display The official profile lists mature plants at 6–8 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide, with mid-spring, late-spring, and summer flowering. Use the compact footprint to edge a container planting or make a coordinated block of color. The product page marks Carmine as pollinator friendly and available through Syngenta’s distributor network. ## Growing conditions Damask Carmine is listed for part shade, part sun, and full sun. Plant in moist, well-drained soil, following Illinois Extension’s general petunia guidance, and check small containers frequently in warm or windy weather. Water when the surface begins to dry while allowing excess water to drain freely. ## Maintenance Occasional pinching late in the season can help keep petunias compact and blooming well. Remove damaged stems when needed, and give neighboring plants enough room for the 12–14-inch spread.
