Indulge yourself in the beauty of this popular and award-winning tender perennial. Petunia 'Surfinia Deep Red' boasts a vigorous and slightly mounding growth habit with a trailing reach of up to 40cm (16in), making it ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and even seasonal ground cover.

This early-flowering gem can reach a height of 20-30cm (8-12in) and sports oval-shaped, sticky and hairy mid-green leaves. The real showstopper, however, is its rich red, velvety flowers, gramophone-trumpet-shaped and measuring around 5.5cm across. Perfect for warm, well-drained spots that bask in the sunlight.


Garden care:
Grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio.

Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
