Merlin Mix - Petunia

Merlin Mix is a compact multiflora petunia seed mixture in Sakata’s Merlin series. Sakata describes Merlin plants as free-flowering, weather tolerant, and about 10 inches tall, with medium-sized flowers and a compact habit through the flowering season. The [Sakata Ornamentals Merlin profile](https://sakataornamentals.com/plantname/merlin/) gives the series characteristics, while a [Sakata seed catalog](https://www.sakata.com.br/assets/downloads/300/saf-12-catalogo-j.pdf) lists Merlin Mix as Petunia multiflora. ## Landscape Use The low, uniform growth works at the front of annual beds and in containers where a compact flowering plant is useful. The mix supplies a range of flower colors rather than one single shade; exact colors depend on the seed mixture. ## Growing Conditions Sakata recommends full sun in its seed catalog and describes the Merlin group as performing across a variety of climates with good weather tolerance. The breeder lists an approximate height of 10 inches but does not give a mature spread for the mix, so retain the catalog’s existing width estimate cautiously. ## Maintenance Keep the planting accessible for seasonal watering and remove faded flowers if a tidy display is preferred. Merlin is a seed-grown annual petunia; replant for a fresh display in a later season.
