Petunia

There aren’t too many plants that perform well in the heat of high summer, but the humble petunia is one of them. 💜 Long flowering, easy care and responds well to a regular prune and applications of weekly weak fertiliser. Oh, and also comes in a great range of colours and markings. Thanks @jacquij for sharing yours. #petunia #purpleflowers #lomgflowering #summerblooms #hangingbasket

You can’t go past the humble Petunia for a spot of Summer colour! 💖 @sussanah has just moved to Ipswich. Although it’s only 36km west from her old home in Brisbane it’s a very different climate. Hotter and drier in summer and colder in winter. Check out her feed to follow her adventures in her new garden. 🌻 #petunia #ipswich

Thank you. I have some magenta ones. I’ll post soon
