FotoFinish® Patriot Mix Petunia

FotoFinish® Patriot Mix is an F1 color-variety selection in the spreading FotoFinish petunia series. Syngenta describes the series as early flowering, mounded and branching, with a 10–14-inch height, 24–36-inch spread, and flowering from mid-spring through summer. [The Patriot Mix detail page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70099524) identifies the exact named product and code. ## Growth and placement Use this spreading annual in a container, hanging basket, or larger seasonal planting where the mix can form a broad display. The series is listed for full sun, part sun, and part shade and is marked pollinator friendly. Keep the full stated spread in mind when choosing companions or spacing plants. ## Seasonal care Petunias grow best in moist, well-drained soil; container mixes can dry quickly in warm weather. Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil, and notes that heavy soils can reduce bloom. [The extension petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) provides general care for the genus. ## Maintenance Check pots often and water when the growing medium begins to dry, while allowing drainage. Pinch stems lightly if they stretch late in the season and need a more compact outline.
