This listing is for 6 Petunia Surfinia Dark Red plug plants.
Surfinia is the words leading brand of trailing petunia.
The weather resistant flowers cover the trailing foliage from late spring until the first frosts of winter.
The plants can trail to over 3 feet in length depending on the variety and condition.
These are excellent in hanging baskets or patio pots either on their own or mixed with other trailing plants such as trailing fuchsia, geraniums, lobelia etc.
The majority of our plants are grown in peat pots which have a biodegradable mesh. The roots will grow easily through this mesh and removing it can damage the roots and effect growth so we do not recommend removing it.
Please look at the pictures above so that you can see the normal size of the plugs (shown beside a £1 coin for scale) which you will receive.
We have over 30 years experience in production and mail order of plug plants.
Please look at our extensive range of basket and patio plants in our shop.

Caring for your plugs
Plugs should be planted into a good quality peat or John Innes based compost. We do not recommend growing in organic, peat free or homemade compost as too many nutrient problems can occur.
The majority of our plants are grown in peat pots which have a biodegradable mesh. The roots will grow easily through this mesh and removing it can damage the roots and effect growth so we do not recommend removing it.
We recommend potting into 9cm pots or packs on arrival and planting into borders and tubs when the roots have filled the pots.
Plants should be grown in a well lit and well ventilated environment. Strict hygiene should be observed to avoid disease problems.
Pinching the tip of the plant out will produce bushier plant with more flower.
Light feeding should begin 3 weeks after potting up. We recommend using a feed high in potassium such as tomato feed a this will encourage more flower to be produced.
After about 4 weeks, depending on the time of year and conditions, the plants should be ready for potting on into pots or baskets.
These plants should be protected from frost at all times.
We do our best to ensure that plants arrive in the best possible condition but sometimes packages get damaged in the post. If this happens we require photographic proof of damage before any action can be taken.

Happy growing.
