Petunia Allegra Orchid Vein is a stunning new cut flower petunia, specially bred to produce tall, vigorous stems and exceptional vase-worthy blooms. Unlike traditional bedding petunias, this exciting variety is ideal for cutting gardens, producing an abundance of beautifully ruffled flowers in soft orchid-lilac shades, each delicately marked with dramatic deep purple veining. Every bloom is slightly different, giving bouquets and garden displays a wonderfully romantic, hand-painted appearance.
 
Flowering over a long season, Petunia Allegra Orchid Vein is highly floriferous, easy to grow and incredibly productive, making it an excellent choice for flower farmers, florists and home gardeners alike. The long stems and impressive vase life make it perfect for cutting, while its elegant blooms also shine in borders, raised beds and large containers.
 
Whether you're creating armfuls of home-grown bouquets or simply looking for something a little different, Petunia Allegra Orchid Vein is a truly special new introduction that brings beauty, productivity and a touch of luxury to the cutting garden.
 
When to Sow: Jan - Apr

HOW TO SOW PETUNIA SEEDS:
Pack contains pelleted seeds to make sowing easier and help with germination. Sow under cover in trays or modules — do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Keep moist and warm at 20–24°C. A propagation lid will help and a heat mat if sowing early.  Germination can be slow and irregular, so don’t panic. Transplant when large enough to handle and plant out after the risk of frost has passed
