Petunia Sweet Sunshine™ Compact Lime
So carefree it even self-cleans!
These blooms are simply magnificent. Measuring about 2 1/2 inches wide (and nearly as "tall"!), they are pale key-lime green, shading to pure white aroudn the petal tips. This creates a "cool" effect, in nice contrast to the warm tones of many other Petunias. Each bloom looks a bit different, and all are lovely! And when the flowers pass, they drop neatly to the ground, so you never have to deadhead. Such an easy to maintain, beautiful Petunia!
The flowers begin in early summer in most climates (earlier in warm areas) and continue all season, despite heat, humidity, and blazing sun. Keep this plant very well watered and fed for best bloom production; it is super-vigorous, and needs its strength! Just a foot high but trailing several feet long, it is a splendid sight in hanging baskets, window boxes, tall planters, and even the garden bed.
The vintage look of these blooms is very appealing and unusual, heightened by the dark color of the foliage. A very compact plant, Sweet Sunshine™ always looks neat, never sprawling or rangy. try combining Lime with the original Sweet Sunshine™ color, soft tricolored Nostalgia. You will find it the centerpiece of your summer patio, deck, porch, or garden, always in bloom and astonishingly lovely!
