Petunia (Mixed Colours)

Petunia produces masses of small, trumpet shaped flowers in a mix of colours, blooming heavily for weeks at a time, which is why it is such a popular choice for instant colour at home.

It comes in a 15cm pot and does best with several hours of morning sun, making it a good fit for balcony pots and garden borders across the UAE, especially in the cooler months.

Water it regularly, keeping the soil lightly moist, since it dries out fast in small pots under UAE sun. Removing old, faded flowers regularly encourages the plant to keep producing new blooms for a longer flowering season.
