IF you’re prepping your flowerbeds ahead of summer, one plant is sure to last well into autumn.
You can pick up the popular flower from B&Q without breaking the bank.
This budget-friendly item will instantly brighten up your garden this summer.
Add these colouful flowers to your pots, hanging baskets, and flowerbeds to create a “long-flowering” look.
B&Q is currently selling Petunia Frenzy Mixed F1 6 Plug Plants for a lower price than ever, at just £4.99.
This Petunia “Frenzy” mixture produces large blooms in “an array of beautiful colours throughout the summer months”.
And these plants are also known to survive until the first frost, providing a “bold and reliable splash of low maintenance colour which you can enjoy all season long”.
These plants have a compact upright look, making them suitable for filling small spaces all around your garden.
Petunias can also be used to create impressive container displays throughout your outdoor space.
When they bloom, these “large trumpet-shaped flowers” create a “mixture of vivid shades all summer long and into autumn”.
Simply pinch out the growing tip of each stem to encourage branching, helping to form a bushier plant which will produce more flowers later on.
Once the weather is warm enough, you can gradually acclimatise petunias to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days.
Make sure to select baskets, window boxes, and containers with good drainage and place them directly in the sun.
Experts recommend feeding and watering petunia plants regularly, particularly during hot, dry periods.
You should also regularly deadhead your petunia flowers to encourage further blooms throughout the summer.
And the sooner you plant these B&Q buys the better as they will beging flowering in early summer.
Petunias are also known to be low maintenance so you don’t even need to be a green-fingered pro to see your garden flourish.
