Petunias are ideal for adding long-lasting color to all sorts of containers, hanging baskets, and even garden borders. Burgundy Skies is an outstanding cultivar that has deep-colored, non-fading petals that appear to be taken straight from the night sky. The creamy white markings sprinkled across some of the flowers give the plant an informal and exciting look and are more pronounced during cooler temperatures in the spring and fall.
Burgundy Skies is a quick-growing plant that can spread anywhere from 20-30 inches, making it useful as a filler or spiller in a container arrangement. The low, mat-forming shape works perfectly as a temporary ground cover or bedding plant for larger garden beds. Plant Burgundy Skies along a retaining wall or pathway to soften hardscape lines and encourage beneficial pollinators to your yard.
Burgundy Skies Petunia Care
Petunias thrive in well-draining soil and in at least 6 hours of direct sun exposure. The cooler temperatures of early spring and early fall are ideal for growing trouble-free plants as long as the nighttime temperature is above 45F (7C). Keep the plants well irrigated, only allowing the top 1-2 inches of potting soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize plants on a regular schedule throughout the growing season to encourage flower development and overall robust growth. Regular deadheading of Burgundy Skies Petunia will keep the plant from growing leggy and producing seeds, which allows for more flowers to develop.
Petunias are tender perennials in USDA hardiness zones 10-11, although they are commonly sold as annual plants in all gardening zones. Petunias can be successfully overwintered indoors if you can provide full sun exposure (at least 6 hours of bright sunlight) and plenty of humidity to counteract the drying effects of central heating through the winter months.
Petunias can be propagated by seed in late winter. Avoid deadheading and allow the plants to set seed at the end of the summer. Save the dried seeds in a paper envelope and store them in a dark, dry spot until you are ready to plant them.
Burgundy Skies Petunia Spacing
Petunias can be planted much closer together in a container than when planted in open garden beds. A hanging basket with a 10-inch diameter is enough space for 3 plants. When planting Petunias as a bedding plant, give the plants space to spread while maintaining good air circulation. Space plants 12-16 inches apart, center on center.
