The Classic Striped Petunia
Petunia 'Ultra Crimson Star'
Huge 3- to 4-inch blooms on compact plants.
The first plant ever to win an AAS bedding plant award.
Ultra Crimson Star was the first variety ever to receive an All-America Selection Bedding Plant Award, back in 1988, and for our money it has never been improved upon. These extra-large, ruffled blooms of brightest crimson and white are very uniform, with a crisp, formal look that brightens beds and baskets alike. And the plant is early-blooming, very tolerant of stress, and dependable. It's simply the perfect bedding Petunia!
Ultra Crimson Star's blooms measure 3 to 4 inches wide, with large white stripes intersecting the crimson-red at even intervals. Very weather-resistant, they bounce back after rain much more quickly than most other Petunias. And they are so abundant on compact, well-branched plants just 12 to 14 inches high, 15 to 18 inches wide!
Use Ultra Crimson Star to create a colorful candy-striped edging, dot as accents in the sunny annual bed, or wow visitors as a mass planting. It is long-blooming and very reliable, an old friend that just gets better as the years go by! Pkt is 50 seeds.
