Care
Plant Petunias into a well prepared, free draining garden bed or a container full of premium grade potting mix. Petunias prefer full sun and will require regular watering until established. Feed with a high quality liquid fertiliser such as Thrive to encourage maximum blooms. Prune every few months, removing spent flowers, this will keep your plant looking fresh and clean. You can also apply a slow release fertiliser at this time.
