Blue Petunias

I always have some blue annual petunias growing for potted colour or in the spring and summer flower garden display.

Blue Annual Petunias

Blue has always been my favourite colour - even for apres gardening clothes! It's a colour I love to look out for in all the different areas of the Moosey garden.

Seeds and Seedlings

I collect the seeds and then grow my own seedlings the following year. There is something very special about these flowering plants - they are long lasting, and there are many bright and varied colours with large flowers that gardeners can either sow themselves or purchase from nurseries.

Blue petunias look fabulous paired up with lime green Helichrysum Petiolare in one of my lucky and inspired plant combinations. I grow another patch in a nearly frost free place by Rooster Bridge, and they seem to keep flowering on throughout autumn.

There are now many smaller flowered petunias available in garish bright colours - the so-called perennial adaptations of annual petunias. All are fun to try, but the larger flowered blue annual petunias will always remain my favourites.
