General Information: Shorter, more controlled plant structure compared with traditional types are versatile for garden beds and containers. Available in the top-selling colours. Enhanced, longer garden performance both in ground and in containers.
The Pretty collection needs fewer to no PGRs and is suitable for cold growing. Naturally better branching with shorter internodes keeps plants manageable longer. The controlled habit assures tidier baskets than traditional petunias – plants hold together and don’t lodge later in the season like standard petunias can. Better branching and flowers above the foliage minimize Botrytis risk. Offers a tight bloom window and longer performance in beds and landscapes.
