Petunia Perennial Assorted 21cm H/B
Original price was: R195.00.R149.99Current price is: R149.99.Add to cartPetunia Perennial Assorted 21cm Hanging Basket
Petunias are commonly grown as annuals, but there are also perennial varieties available. While the majority of petunias are annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle in one growing season, perennial petunias can come back year after year with proper care. However, it’s important to note that perennial petunias are not as common or widely available as the annual varieties.
Perennial petunias belong to the species Petunia axillaris and Petunia integrifolia. They are often referred to as “wild petunias” or “perennial petunias.” Here are some key characteristics of perennial petunias:
Growth habit: Perennial petunias tend to have a more compact and upright growth habit compared to the trailing or spreading habit of many annual petunias. They form mounds of foliage and produce an abundance of flowers.
Flowers: The flowers of perennial petunias are typically smaller than those of their annual counterparts. They come in various colours, including shades of pink, purple, and white. The flowers have a trumpet-like shape similar to the annual petunias.
Perennial nature: Perennial petunias are capable of returning year after year in suitable growing conditions. They can be treated as herbaceous perennials, dying back to the ground in winter and regrowing from the roots in spring.
Care and maintenance: Perennial petunias require similar care to other garden perennials. They prefer well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Regular watering and mulching can help maintain moisture levels in the soil. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming. In colder regions, providing winter protection such as mulching or covering the plants can increase their chances of survival.
Propagation: Perennial petunias can be propagated through division or by taking stem cuttings. Division involves separating the plant into smaller sections and replanting them, while stem cuttings involve rooting a stem segment in a suitable growing medium.
It’s worth mentioning that many gardeners prefer to grow annual petunias due to their larger flower size, more extensive colour range, and abundant blooming throughout the growing season.
