Surfinia® Sky Blue Petunia (Petunia hybrid 'KEIlavbu') brims with soft, lavender-tinged petals that spill gracefully from baskets and containers, creating a soothing backdrop in any sunny setting. Each trumpet-shaped bloom continues to appear throughout summer and into fall, highlighted by bright green foliage that handles warm days without wilting. This variety is self-cleaning, providing a steady show of color with minimal effort. We find that the gentle sky-blue hue adds a delightful contrast alongside brighter floral companions.

Though bred in Japan, this petunia adapts well to diverse climates where it tolerates both humidity and periods of dry heat. Hummingbirds often stop by to sample nectar, while butterflies add motion to your garden display. Use it as a dense groundcover or draped elegantly over porch railings, and consider mixing it with upright grasses or contrasting shades for added depth. The Surfinia line’s reputation for durability and consistent blooms makes this selection a trusted favorite among home gardeners.

Surfinia® Sky Blue Petunia Care

Give it a home in full sun or partial shade once nights stay above 50°F. Offer a fertile, well-draining medium with a neutral to mildly acidic pH, and water regularly so that the soil remains slightly moist but not oversaturated. A monthly feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer helps support constant growth and flower production.

Occasional trimming of straggly stems can refresh the plant and encourage new buds. Midsummer pruning is optional if you prefer a tidy form or notice fewer buds forming. In containers, monitor moisture levels closely, as potted soil dries faster than in-ground plantings. Winter care is generally unnecessary since this petunia is treated as an annual in most regions, although frost-free zones can enjoy its blooms for a longer season.

Surfinia® Sky Blue Petunia Spacing

Leave about 8 to 12 inches between plants for borders or mass groupings, giving each petunia enough room to trail and fill in. For container growth, choose a pot at least 10 inches wide so the root system can anchor, and the trailing habit can cascade over the edges.
