PETUNIA
ColorRush ™ Bursting with bold color for landscapes and large baskets
PETUNIA Petunia x hybrida ColorRush™ VIGOROUS SPREADING
Height: 10 to 12 in. (25 to 30 cm) Spread: 24 to 36 in. (61 to 91 cm) Notable for big vigor and excellent garden performance. Our most vigorous line is ideal for 12-in. (30-cm) and larger containers and baskets,
as well as landscapes. The series will finish 10 to 12 weeks from stick, depending on region. Masses of blooms hold up in the heat and rain.
Best Practices West Region Finish in an outdoor cold frame, where it can receive natural night temperatures as low as 32°F (0°C), but have some form of greenhouse roof protection to avoid frost exposure. PGRs in our trials were not needed when average daily temperature was below 54°F (12°C) in outdoor tunnels. Midwest, Canada and Northeast Regions Based on our Midwest trials, we recommend a paclobutrazol spray at 5 ppm 10 days after stick and a paclobutrazol drench at 5 ppm 3 to 4 weeks after transplant, if needed. This keeps plants from growing together on the bench. South or Southeast Region Finish in an outdoor cold frame, where it can receive natural night temperatures as low as 32°F (0°C), but should not be exposed to frost during the production cycle. Since many locations in the South or Southeast will not be able to provide an average daily temperature under 54°F (12°C), we recommend a paclobutrazol drench between 1 to 3 ppm to control finished growth. Includes a range of bright, eye- catching colors and novelties. These varieties have nicely matched habits, making production planning easier.
