Petunia x hybrida 'Carpet Lilac'

Petunia

Tips for Homeowners:

Pinching the stems back at the time of planting will encourage branching. New hybrids generally do not require the old flowers to be removed (deadheaded). Cut the plant back if it declines or gets spindly, and new growth will fill in. Petunias are heavy feeders - use a high nitrogen fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.
