Petunia valentine

Until recently, petunia was not used as often as it is now. It is today that this beautiful flower is planted not only in flower beds. But also in special pots on windowsills and balconies. Petunia valentine is a relatively new hybrid.

This flower grows up to 40 cm in height, but with its huge flowers (12 cm in diameter), the bush looks very beautiful. Globular flowers completely cover the bush. Due to these flowers, almost the base of the flower is not visible.

Petunia valentine is grown from seedlings. Seedlings are planted from February to April. Today's seeds are covered with a special protective shell that dissolves when planted. This shell protects flowers from damage and disease. Seeds should be planted in moist soil, and covered with glass or plastic. This cover is removed after the flowers have germinated. The temperature must be maintained in the range of 22 to 24 degrees.

After the first leaf of this plant has appeared, it is transferred to a cooler environment (14-16 degrees). After the frosts have passed, the seedlings can be planted in the ground. The distance between flowers must be at least 15 cm.

The subsequent care of this plant is very simple. It is necessary to monitor the soil, plant in sunny places. The plant is very positive about watering and feeding. You can feed with universal fertilizers for deciduous and flowering plants. If you did everything right, then petunia valentina will thank you with flowering from July to late autumn. Happy growing and beautiful flowers.
