Description

Ornamental herb with vigorous growth and an upright or semi-erect habit depending on the variety. Flowering is lush and prolonged and occurs during the spring-summer period with a profusion of brightly coloured, shiny flowers. Easy to maintain, it is used to decorate flower beds, outdoor tubs, planters and pots, also in compositions with other ornamental or with varieties of the same species with different coloured flowers. It is often distinguished from the genus Petunia by the smaller size of the flowers associated with a more abundant flowering. It also has a high level of tillering with a highly decorative flower/leaf ratio.
