Petunia ‘Blueberry Star’ will flourish in your summer garden, showing off delectable purple-blue blooms. Bred for the ever so unpredictable UK weather, this variety is sure to become a favourite all around the country for gardeners. Bees and butterflies just love the pretty nectar-filled flowers, flying and visiting with regularity. Trailing blooms are a staple of petunias, with this one being no different, cascading softly over the edge of hanging baskets and patio containers. Trumpet-like blooms bring a uniqueness to displays, growing uniformly and neatly. Petunia ‘Blueberry Star’ blooms with vigour from early summer in June, right through to the first frosts in October. Velvet blooms will shine in the sun and bring a textural feel to patio or small garden growing. Prefers to be planted in any moist, well-drained soil or compost in full sun or partial shade. As a tender perennial, it will withstand temperatures down to around 1°C, therefore move to a frost-free area to protect over the winter. However, in the UK petunias are normally grown as annuals. H: 30cm S: 30cm and trails to around 40cm.
