Daddy® Red Petunia

Daddy® Red is a single grandiflora petunia with red flowers and the veined pattern characteristic of the Daddy® series. PanAmerican Seed lists 4-inch blooms, a mounded upright habit, a 10–15-inch height, a 10–12-inch width, and spring-through-late-summer flowering in sun ([Daddy® Red plant details](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/048600393004463/petunia-daddy-red/)). ## Planting and placement Use this compact selection in a sunny bed, a larger container, or a mixed planting. Plant in moist, well-drained soil and water thoroughly when the root zone begins to dry; avoid repeatedly wetting just the surface. The [University of Florida IFAS petunia guide](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/petunias/) describes full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias. ## Seasonal display PanAmerican lists spring, late spring, summer, and late-summer bloom seasons. Protect plants from frost and use them as warm-season annual color where winters are cold. ## Maintenance Pinch the growing tips early if fuller branching is desired. Remove faded large flowers to keep the plant tidy and support continued display, and check container soil more often during warm, bright weather.
