Daddy® Peppermint Petunia

Daddy® Peppermint is a grandiflora petunia with a mounded, upright shape and distinctive veined blooms. PanAmerican identifies this selection as PAS3078 and lists flowers from spring into late summer, with a 10–15 inch height and 10–12 inch spread. Its large flowers and branching habit make it a useful choice for containers, mixed plantings and beds. See the [PanAmerican product page](https://www.panamseed.com/products/048600393003990/petunia-daddy-peppermint/) for selection details. ## Growing conditions Give the plant a sunny position. For petunias generally, Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil; very heavy soil can reduce flowering. The exact PanAmerican listing describes this selection as mounded and upright and provides its mature garden dimensions. These compact proportions suit a patio pot or a front-of-border planting where the flowers can be viewed closely. ## Maintenance Keep soil evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain, especially in containers. Late-season pinching can help petunias stay compact and bloom well. Remove faded flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
