Container #10: Curb Appeal with Queen of Hearts Petunias

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

The bright colors of this container provide lots of curb appeal! Look closely at the beautiful bi-color petunia, and you will see that each blossom has five red hearts! The deep red plants are supercals, a cross between a petunia and a calibrachoa. They are exceptionally vigorous bloomers! Duranta “Gold Edge,” the thriller plant in the back of the container looms above the profusion of blooms.

RECIPE:
• (1) Petunia “Amore Queen of Hearts”
• (2) Supercal “Premium Bordeaux”
• (2) Calibrachoa “Deep Yellow”
• (1) Duranta “Gold Edge”

TIPS:
• This container thrives in full sun.
• All the plants in this container except the duranta benefit from an occasional trimming to keep their nice shape and encourage continuous blooms.
