To keep your Blue Petunia in its best shape, we recommend feeding them every week while they are growing in the summer. For the best and biggest blooms, use a flower-focused fertilizer such as Espoma Flower Tone.
What is The Best Soil for My Blue Petunia?
Petunias requires rich, well-draining soil although it can tolerate a wide range of pH levels and soil types including Clay, Loamy, and Sandy.
How Much Sun Does My Blue Petunia Need?
For the best showy summer blooms, make sure that your Blue Petunia gets full sun (6 to 8 hours a day). Although it can survive in partial sun and shade, remember that the more shade your plant receives, the less it will bloom.
