Petunias bring instant joyful colour to the summer garden and they are one of the quickest easiest flowers to grow, making them great for beginners and children. Petunias thrive in both pots and garden beds, rewarding you with masses of blooms in no time at all.
There is a huge colour range to choose from, from outrageously bright pinks, purples and bicoloured blooms for bold impact to softer pastels in blush, apricot and lavender for a more relaxed elegant look. Plant different shades together for a lively mixed display or stick to a simple colour palette for a calmer feel.
Plant petunias in a spot where you can enjoy them regularly, like at the front entrance, around entertaining areas, on balconies and patios, spilling from hanging baskets under a pergola or lining sunny garden borders. They are economical to buy as seedlings, or you can opt for advanced pots for instant colour. You will see them in stores now so head to your garden centre and pick your favourite shades.
