Petunia Picotee Velvet is a member of the Allegra series-the first petunias with 100 percent double blooms. A grandiflora type, Picotee Velvet blooms from late spring to early fall, setting large bicolor blooms with ruffled petals. Borne atop strong stems, the flowers have a sophisticated air and are perfect for cutting, providing gorgeous, romantic bouquets all summer long.
Petunia Allegra Picotee Velvet has an upright, branching habit and can be trained on a trellis or other support. It’s perfect for containers or garden beds.
Plant Allegra Picotee Velvet in a sunny to lightly shady spot with average, medium moist, freely draining soil. Petunias tolerate poor soils and resist disease and pests. Deadheading faded flowers encourages and prolongs flowering and cutting back plants that have declined in summer heat promotes a later bloom as temperatures cool.

This seed comes as a pellet. Pelleted seeds are small seeds that have been clay-coated to make them larger and more uniform in size and shape, making them easier to handle when planting.
