Culture

Petunia Pretty Grand™ Midnight is a delightful flowering plant that belongs to the Petunia x hybrida species. The Pretty Grand™ Midnight collection offers several advantages. These petunias maintain a tidier appearance in baskets compared to traditional varieties. They don’t sprawl or lodge later in the season. Naturally better branching with shorter internodes keeps the plants manageable for longer periods.  Flowers are positioned above the foliage, reducing the risk of Botrytis infection.  These petunias bloom consistently and perform well in beds and landscapes.

Grow Petunia Pretty Grand™ Midnight in full sunlight only. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It may require supplemental watering during periods of drought or extended heat. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
