Petunia 'Bubbles Butterfly'
petunia
Striking magenta star-shaped, blooms boasting vigour, weather tolerance, and a neat, upright habit. Free-flowering by nature, Petunia ‘Bubbles Butterfly' is truly unique in its colour-shifting display, starting boldly magenta and softening to a gentle pink under the summer sun.
This petunia is not only cold tolerant but also self-cleaning, sparing you the need for dead-heading, and flourishes in wet weather conditions, providing a glorious display from May to the first frosts.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plants (which are sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Petunia Bubbles Butterfly:
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.
