FlashForward™ Purple Petunia

FlashForward™ Purple is a spreading milliflora petunia selected for purple flowers. It blooms in early spring and summer, bringing a compact, trailing display to containers and hanging baskets. Syngenta lists plants at 6–10 inches tall by 18–24 inches wide and identifies the flowers as pollinator friendly. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70099067) ## Placement Give this annual part shade to full sun, with a container or basket that leaves room for the spreading stems. Use moist, well-drained soil; full sun and well-drained soil are also recommended in general petunia guidance. Its modest height and wider spread make it useful where a low, trailing display is wanted.

Petunias tend to flower poorly in very heavy soil. Occasional pinching late in the season can help keep growth compact and flowering well.
