Be dazzled by the vigorous and fully trailing beauty of this tender perennial - a must-have for your seasonal bedding or patio collection!

With its oval-shaped, sticky and hairy mid-green leaves, petunia ‘Surfinia White’ plant produces stunning gramophone-trumpet-shaped white flowers measuring a whopping 7cm (3in) across with a mesmerising violet throat.

Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, but it also blooms from late spring well into autumn, making it a long-flowering garden gem. With a trailing or spreading reach of up to 40cm (16in), it's the perfect choice for your hanging baskets and balcony containers or as a complement to pastel pinks.

Please note that the hanging basket 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 Surfinia White ('Kesupite') (Surfinia Series):

Our bedding range and bedding collections (where available) are offered as seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.

Pot up seedlings and cuttings and grow them on under glass until the risk of frost has passed. Once conditions are warmer, they can be planted directly into well-prepared beds, or used to fill patio pots, window boxes, and hanging baskets for long-lasting seasonal colour. Larger 9cm bedding plants don’t usually need potting on but will benefit from initial frost protection in spring.

To keep bedding plants looking their best, and where applicable, pinch out the tips to promote bushier growth and water regularly, especially in containers where compost dries out quickly. Feed with a high-potash fertiliser every couple of weeks to encourage continuous flowering. Deadhead faded blooms, as required, to extend the display and keep plants tidy, ensuring vibrant summer flowers from planting time right through to the first frosts.
