A summer season stunner with a profuse and long season display of vibrant and richly-coloured, burnt orange flowers, which are self-cleaning and neatly drop to the ground when they are done. These reliable mini petunias are easy to grow and show good resistance to mildew. 'Can-Can Double OrangeTastic' is ideal for scrambling over the edges of a pot or hanging basket, and combining with purples, blues and other plants in the series.
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
