Product description

Petunia 'Merlin Mixed F1' is a robust, compact variety known for its stunning mix of vibrant colours and weather-resistant flowers. These plants are perfect for adding a burst of colour to borders, containers, and hanging baskets. The Merlin Mixed F1 petunias are particularly valued for their ability to withstand the British climate, offering consistent performance and an abundance of blooms throughout the summer months. With a bushy growth habit and a long flowering period, this variety is a favourite among gardeners looking for reliable and eye-catching annuals.

Sow Petunia 'Merlin Mixed F1' seeds indoors from February to April, using seed trays filled with fine seed compost. Lightly cover the seeds with compost or vermiculite and keep them in a warm place with good light. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in cooler conditions until they are ready to be planted outdoors. After the last frost has passed, harden off the young plants and transplant them into their final positions in well-drained soil, spaced 20-25cm apart, in a sunny location.

To ensure a continuous display of blooms from June to October, deadhead spent flowers regularly. This not only keeps the plants looking tidy but also encourages the production of new blooms. Petunias benefit from regular watering and feeding, particularly during dry periods, to maintain their vibrant display. With proper care, Petunia 'Merlin Mixed F1' will provide a long-lasting and colourful addition to any garden, whether in beds, borders, or containers.
