Description

• Petunia ‘Rose of Heaven’ is a popular heirloom variety known for its compact, mounded growth and vibrant, bright rose-pink flowers. These plants are typically grown as annuals and are ideal for garden beds, hanging baskets, and decorative pots due to their dense floral display
• Appearance: Features 4-inch deep blush pink blooms that may fade to a lighter rose pink as they age. Plant Habit: Grows to a height of approximately 10–15 inches (25–38 cm) with a similar spread, maintaining a neat, mounded shape. Foliage: The leaves are soft, oval-shaped, and slightly sticky to the touch. Benefits: Attracts pollinators like butterflies and bees, and is generally low-maintenance
• When to Sow: Best planted indoors 8–12 weeks before the last frost, typically from January to March. In Indian climates, they are often sown in September–November or January–March.
• Sowing Method: Broadcast the tiny seeds on the surface of fine seed compost; do not cover them, as they require light to germinate.
• Germination: Keep the soil moist at a temperature of 21–27°C. Germination usually takes 7–21 days.
• Light & Soil: Requires full sun (at least 6 hours daily) and well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0).
• Maintenance: Regularly deadhead (remove faded flowers) to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season
