Sun Spun® Red - Petunia

Sun Spun Red is the red-flowered petunia in Ball FloraPlant’s Sun Spun series. Ball FloraPlant describes the series as compact and mounded-upright, suited to pots and hanging baskets, with series-level estimates of 6–10 inches tall and 8–10 inches wide. Use this bright red annual as a compact color block in a sunny container or basket. The [Ball FloraPlant Sun Spun grower guide](https://www.ballfloraplant.com/Tools/PdfAssets/pdfpage.aspx?pdfid=13) provides the series profile and growing notes. Petunias perform best in sun and well-drained soil. Water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, checking pots and baskets often in warm weather because they lose moisture faster than garden beds. Remove faded flowers or trim back leggy stems to keep plants tidy and encourage fresh growth. The [University of Minnesota Extension petunia guide](https://extension.umn.edu/garden-and-home/yard-and-garden/gardening-in-minnesota/growing-petunias) offers practical advice on light, watering and seasonal care. ## Maintenance Check containers regularly for dry soil, especially during hot or windy spells. Water at the soil line and allow excess to drain. Pinch or trim stretched stems as needed and remove spent blooms to maintain a neat display.
