Featuring heavily petalled, extravagant double flowers which are deep pink with unusual green edges, 'Darcy-Rosa' looks like no other Petunia. Masses of gorgeous petals that layer upon each other create the perfect summer patio display. Fabulous in hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers where its trailing habit means it will tumble over the edges of containers and cascade for up to 80cm (2½ft), with sweetly scented flowers along the full length of the branches, unlike most trailing petunias that often only flower at the end of their stems. They will flower from late May to the first frosts and require only occasional dead-heading to prolong displays. Tumbelina Petunias are exceptionally weather resistant, all will continue to look good even in wet weather, and they're drought tolerant too. Also, they're less likely to become 'leggy' than other petunias. Supplied as 6 jumbo plugs plants, ready to grow on or plant out after the chance of frost has passed, growing to a height 30cm (1ft) and spread of 80cm (2½ft).
