FAQs

How much sun do Daddy Blue petunias need?

Daddy Blue petunias thrive best in full sun exposures, receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Filtered sunlight can also work, but may result in less prolific flowering.

What type of soil is best for growing petunias?

Petunias grow best in a light, fertile soil that drains well. Amend clay-heavy soils with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and nutrient levels. Proper fertilization can also help petunias thrive in less-than-ideal dirt.

Should I deadhead my Daddy Blue petunias?

No deadheading is needed! The Daddy Blue petunias are self-cleaning, meaning faded flowers naturally fall off the plants to make way for new blooms.

Can Daddy Blues survive winter outdoors?

Unfortunately, the Daddy Blue petunias are not cold hardy. These are considered annuals in most climates. However, you may be able to overwinter them in a greenhouse or bright, cool windowsill.
