Popular varieties of cascading petunias
Among the great many hybrids and cascading petunias, the following have won the greatest favor with flower growers:

Petunia Double Cascade, distinguished by huge double flowers of bright attractive colors with a pleasant aroma, a neat bush covered with emerald green leaves, is one of the most beautiful representatives of annual flowers.
But, of course, one of the most attractive species can be called the Gioconda petunia - multi-flowered, creeping, cascading. A gorgeous low bush with strongly branching shoots, densely covered with flowers, the diameter of which reaches 5-6 cm, will become a real pearl of the garden. Looks great in hanging pots, provided that its capacity is at least 10 liters. A huge plus is the ability of this plant to adapt to the widest temperature range, which allows not only growing this variety in different climatic zones, but also preserving it in the winter.
A hybrid of petunias cascading Ramblin, related to surfinias (blooms two weeks earlier than others) is not in vain the most desirable in the garden - the height of the bush does not exceed 40 cm, but the creeping shoots can reach a whole meter in length, which allows you to create magnificent vertical compositions in suspended pots. An abundance of flowers, early flowering, unpretentious care and a long flowering period are the main characteristics of this type of petunias.
