Petunias of Patterns
‘Potunia® Purple Halo’
Back in February we talked about the importance of petunias for landscapers. These dependable plants bump up the color volume quickly with very little effort. As a result they provide a reliable source of supplemental income.
‘Cascadias™ Rim Magenta’
We’d like to continue our discussion now with a focus on some novelty vegetative selections we grow in unique, artistic patterns. Petunias are all about fashion so it’s essential to stay cutting-edge. An alluring pattern on a flower gets a design noticed and creates a buzz—which can lead to happy clients and repeat business.
Here are a few of our patterned varieties:
‘Cascadias™ Rim Chianti’
‘Cascadias™ Rim Chianti’ (bright red), ‘Rim Magenta’ (magenta-red), and ‘Rim Violet’ (dark purple)—flowers are edged in white
‘Flash Mob Magentacular’—bright yellow throats bleed out over rosy red flowers
‘Glow Picotee Blue’—dark blue flowers have white tipped petals
‘Potunia® Purple Halo’—purple flowers edged in white
‘Sanguna® Picotee Punch’—brilliant magenta flowers edged in white
‘Supertunia® Pretty Much Picasso™’—large violet-purple flowers with ruffled lime green edges
‘Supertunia® Picasso in Blue™’—lavender-blue flowers with bright green edges
‘Night Sky’—dark blue flowers are spotted with white, Jackson Pollock style
Several of our vegetative petunia selections have dark veining for striking contrast:
‘Glow Blue Vein’—lavender flowers with dark purple veins
‘Supertunia® Bordeaux’—large pink flowers veined in deep red wine with ruffled edges
‘Supertunia® Mini Blue Veined’—pale blue flowers with blue-purple throats and veins
‘Supertunia® Mini Strawberry Pink Veined’—pink flowers with deep strawberry pink throats and veins

For an added dimension of interest, try our double petunia, ‘Pirouette Purple’—it has ruffled purple petals with white edges.
Remember: it’s also important to have standard solid colors like pink and purple available for customers. We offer a continuous supply of petunias grown fresh all summer long, in a wide assortment of colors and types, for when you need to freshen up designs throughout the season.
