The Velvet F1 group varieties are intended especially for planting in containers such as flower boxes, hanging bowls or raised containers to emphasise their overhanging character. They create a massive cascade and bloom during the whole season. If cultivated correctly, they bloom on the whole surface of the plant.

Thanks to the length of their overhanging shoots reaching 80-100 cm, the varieties of the Velvet F1 group can compete with varieties grown from cuttings.

All Velvet F1 varieties can also be planted in flower beds where they grow together in a short time and create a flower carpet about 25-cm-high.

Excellent health, exuberant growth, blossoms of medium size and high seed germination are great advantages of these varieties. The price of delivered seeds is also interesting. The method of cultivation does not differ from other petunia groups. Plants have a creeping character from the very beginning. Proper nutrition has a positive influence on the length of the spreading cascade.
