Petunia cascading "Gioconda White" F1
Multi-flowered creeping cascading petunia "Gioconda White" F1.
A breakthrough in breeding: a petunia that can bloom all year round!
Height 20 cm. Flower diameter 6-8 cm. The diameter of the entire plant is 80-100 cm.
Gioconda is the first petunia in the world that produces a stunning number of flowers due to male sterility (does not produce seeds), which creates competition for petunias and surfinias, which are propagated by cuttings. Plants with incredibly powerful branching shoots (cover the soil up to 1 meter in diameter, at a height of 20 cm), are strewn with a huge number of flowers. When grown in pots, the shoots cascade over the edges.
Petunia Gioconda is able to adapt to a wide range of temperatures - from 8 to 40 °C. When the temperature drops, the plants do not die, but only slow down their growth and flowering. Maintaining optimal growing conditions (11 hours of daylight and a temperature of +20+22°C), you can keep the plants blooming all year round, which opens up new possibilities in decorative landscaping.
Ideal for producing seedlings in greenhouses: the plants are uniform, very strong, and, most importantly, flowering begins at an early stage. Ideal for growing in pots, hanging baskets and in open ground.
Sowing: seeds in granules!
In order to facilitate the sowing and growing of small-seeded crops, a system was developed for coating each seed with a special composition. When moisture gets on the granule, the shell crumbles. Sowing February-March for seedlings. The granules are placed on the surface of slightly compacted and moistened soil without sealing them, moistened with a spray bottle, covered with glass and kept at a temperature of +20+24 °C, preventing the granule shell and compost from drying out until the seedlings germinate and periodically removing drops of condensation from the glass surface. The shoots appear only in the light (excluding direct sunlight) on the 10-15th day. After the first true leaf appears, the crops are ventilated. Then the glass is removed, gradually reducing the temperature to +14+16 °C. The seedlings do not tolerate high temperatures and waterlogging. Hardened seedlings are planted in the ground after the end of spring frosts at a distance of 15-20 cm.
Care: grows better in well-lit places with light, fertile soil. Responds gratefully to watering and regular fertilizing.
Flowering: from June until frost.
