Rich purple flowers with deep, shadowed centres cover this trailing bedding petunia from late spring right through to autumn, creating a full, flowing display that works brilliantly in hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers.

Petunia Surfinia Purple has a naturally trailing habit, quickly filling out spaces and softening edges with its cascading growth and constant flush of colour.

It thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot and rewards regular watering and feeding with a non-stop show of flowers. Easy to grow and quick to establish, it’s perfect for adding strong, reliable colour to outdoor spaces where you want maximum impact with modest maintenance requirements.


  • Garden care:
    Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.

    Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.

    To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
