Madness® Merlot Mixture Petunia

Madness® Merlot Mixture is a floribunda petunia blend with Burgundy, Deep Rose, Orchid, Pink, and White blooms. Its upright, mounded plants reach about 10–15 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, flowering from spring through late summer in sun. ## Design Place the color blend in sunny patio containers, broad beds, or grouped plantings. PanAmerican describes the Madness series as well branched and floriferous, with abundant 3-inch blooms. The exact page lists Burgundy, Deep Rose, Orchid, Pink, and White as blend components, with the usual 8–10 inch spacing. See the [Madness Merlot Mixture page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/048600864003414/petunia-madness-merlot-mixture/) for the exact selection profile. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and well-drained soil that remains evenly moist. In its Florida guidance, [UF/IFAS recommends](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/petunias/) watering established petunias deeply instead of giving frequent light sprinkles; the 1–2 inch every 7–10 day guideline should be adjusted for rainfall, heat, soil, and container drainage. ## Maintenance Pinch young tips if you want a fuller shape, and remove spent flowers when they detract from the display. UF/IFAS suggests monthly balanced fertilizer or a controlled-release product at planting. Protect plants from frost in cold-prone locations.
