Petunia 'Flower Shower Golden Harvest'
Description Petunia 'Flower Shower Golden Harvest' is a vibrant, spreading petunia prized for its abundant, golden-yellow blooms. This variety produces a continuous cascade of medium-sized flowers that brighten containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, and garden edges. Foliage is slightly sticky and medium green, providing an attractive backdrop to the profusion of blooms.
Key Features
Flower color: Warm golden-yellow
Growth habit: Mounding to trailing, excellent for baskets and mixed containers
Bloom time: Spring through fall in most climates
Height: 6–12 inches (height varies with pruning and container)
Spread: 18–36 inches (spreads generously in favorable conditions)
Sun exposure: Full sun to light afternoon shade
USDA zones: Typically grown as an annual in most regions
Growing Tips
Light: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun for best flowering. In very hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent midday stress.
Soil: Use well-draining potting mix or garden soil amended with organic matter. Petunias prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water more frequently in containers and during hot, dry spells. Avoid overhead watering when possible to reduce disease risk.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 1–2 weeks during the growing season to support continuous bloom. Slow-release fertilizer at planting also works well.
Pruning and maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms lightly to encourage more flowers, though many modern trailing petunias are self-cleaning. Pinch back leggy growth to maintain a compact, cascading habit.
Pests/diseases: Watch for aphids, slugs, snails, and caterpillars. Good air circulation and careful watering help prevent fungal issues such as powdery mildew or root rot.
Landscape Uses
Hanging baskets and window boxes: Outstanding choice for long, golden draping color.
Mixed containers: Pairs well with contrasting foliage plants or cool-toned flowers like purple calibrachoa or lavender.
Edging and groundcover: Effective as a low, spreading border plant in sunny beds.
Mass planting: Creates a warm, sunny carpet of color when planted en masse.
Why Choose 'Flower Shower Golden Harvest' This petunia delivers dependable, eye-catching color with a free-flowering, trailing habit that suits many garden applications. Its cheerful golden blooms are especially effective for adding warmth and contrast in mixed plantings and containers.
