With its captivating raspberry-veined pink flowers and deep burgundy throat, 'Designer Starburst Cherry' adds an enchanting touch to long season displays. Beyond its visual appeal, this petunia demonstrates remarkable resilience against cold snaps and mildew, making it a durable choice for variable UK summers. From late spring to the first frosts, it cascades a lush and free-flowering habit, transforming hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes into vibrant showcases.
Plant out when all risk of frost has gone into moist, well drained soil or peat-free general purpose potting compost. Provide a high-potash fertiliser (such as liquid seaweed or tomato feed) each week from June to September. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering.
