‘Blueberry Scone’ is a tender perennial (grown as an annual) with masses of attractively-marked, blue-veined white and yellow blooms throughout the summer. As the season progresses, these pretty, mini-petunias respond to changes in light, climate and other weather conditions so the blend of colours varies. Great for small spaces as these summer stars offer so much, pop them in your pots and containers for a dazzling display!
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.
