'Marshmallow' has excellent all weather performance and its large flowers come in a mouth-watering range of marshmallow shades, including pure white, pinks and even some splashed bicolours. It's a real garden delight when planted in bedding, most types of container, baskets and borders. Deadhead flowers regularly to keep your petunias flowering through the summer. Grow petunias as half-hardy annuals, sowing the seed in heat, in spring, and plant out plants from May, when the danger of frost has passed.
