Surfinia® Deep Red Petunia Care
Surfinia Deep Red Petunia does not need to be deadheaded as it self-cleans. It needs regular fertilization every other week to keep it at its best. Use a water-soluble fertilizer for containers and hanging baskets, with slow release being the fertilizer of choice for landscape plants. Surfinia Deep Red Petunia must be in full sun to grow and blossom.
A tender perennial native to South America, Surfinia Deep Red Petunia is grown as an annual in the United States. The plant will die at hard frost. It doesn’t overwinter in the house very well, so is usually allowed to die with new plants coming in the spring.
