Sophisticated Lime Bicolor Petunia Seeds

Petunia Grandiflora ‘Sophistica Lime Bicolor’ – 15 Seeds per Packet

Petunia grandiflora ‘Sophistica Lime Bicolor’ (grandiflora petunia) is a showy, tender perennial typically grown as an annual, prized for large, bicolor blooms with lime‑green throats and contrasting edges that add bright, modern color to beds, containers, and hanging displays. Bred from South American petunias, grandifloras offer long‑season color from late spring through fall.

Grow ‘Sophistica Lime Bicolor’ in full sun for best flowering and compact form; in hot climates it benefits from some afternoon shade. Plant in fertile, well‑drained garden soil or potting mix amended with compost. Maintain consistent moisture and feed with a balanced fertilizer every 2–4 weeks to encourage continuous bloom—avoid waterlogged conditions.

Seeds are very small and require light for best germination: surface‑sow on a fine, moist seed mix and do not cover. Start indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost at warm temperatures (70–75°F / 21–24°C); expect germination in 7–14 days. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost; no cold stratification is needed. Many gardeners propagate grandifloras from plugs or seedlings rather than seed to preserve cultivar traits.

Plants typically reach about 8–14 inches (20–35 cm) tall with a 12–18 inch (30–45 cm) spread—space 10–18 inches apart depending on desired coverage. ‘Sophistica Lime Bicolor’ is excellent for bedding, mixed containers, and hanging baskets; flowers are best used fresh and attract pollinators such as hummingbirds and bees.
