Now a couple of  commonly asked questions that we receive ……  why are certain Petunias more expensive than others?  and what is the difference between perennial petunias and the cheaper annual forms ?

Perennial Petunias will last longer in the garden that the seasonal annual forms.  Annual forms are short lived seed grown varieties that will last from early Spring until Autumn and then once the cold weather gets to them,…..  they will cark it and  they are gone for good !!.   The Perennial Petunias are also grown from seed, but can also be struck from cutting and can last a few years in the garden in the right conditions and climate. Perennial Petunias have a stronger tolerance to cold weather, have a better disease resistance, and are known for being tougher and having more weather resistant blooms and growth. Regions of severe cold and frost, are the exception to the rule… all petunias will snuff it when the cold arrives… but here in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, once the cold arrives, your annual petunias will cark it, but your perennial petunias shouldn’t be as sensitive or sooky, they may get a little winter damage, but will repair and reshoot once some warmer weather arrives, just keep them protected from severe cold or weather.

Regular light pruning and liquid feeding of your Petunias will help to maintain a compact happy bushy habit and prolong and encourage more blooms.

At Paddys, all our Petunias are available during the Spring and early Summer months only…… our perennial Petunia range are in 12cm pots and  will cost you $5.69 each,

or you can shop elsewhere and pay over $11 each for them…  we always sell out fast, so get your order in while we have them in stock !!

  • Chrysanthemum Garden Mum Youpi Pink 12cm

    $5.98
    Chrysanthemum Garden Mums are a highlight of the cooler months, flowering from Autumn through to spring time, then going dormant over the warmer months. It is not unusual for the garden mums to come again during the summer months in mountainous areas like Monbulk where we live, if the weather is cooler than expected. Garden Mums, sadly are normally associated with just being a gift plant or flower for Mothers Day (MAY), and treated as an annual here in Australia, which is completely criminal and wrong as they are a fantastic perennial plant that gives tonnes of vibrant jewel tone colours for a lot longer than the one season. Garden Mums are native to asia and north eastern Europe and grow 30 - 60cms tall in a full sun to semi sun aspect...... full sun is always better, can be grown equally as good in pots, containers, baskets etc as in the garden in a fertile, well drained to slightly moist soil type that is slightly acidic to neutral. If planting in a garden bed, work in some compost or organic matter first for best results. Garden Mums thrive in cooler conditions, hence where they are native to. Whilst the Garden Mums are still in their vegetative stage ( ie just leaves), make sure you provide a one off fertiliser with plenty of nitrogen and potassium to promote healthy roots, development of buds ( flowers), this will result in a much more vigorous, healthy and floriferous plant Garden Mums respond well to regular liquid feeds with seaweed solution. Water wise, just keep them moist ( soil cool to touch), but not soggy or constantly wet. At Paddys Plants, we grow about 1500 Garden Mums per year, consisting of 10 different varieties. Garden Mums are a favourite of ours for Cooler month colours and we look forward to them popping up in our garden every Autumn. Come and check out our range and we hope you fall in love with them to !!
