Description
This Petunia Tidal Wave F1 Cherry is one of the most impressive hybrids. It unfurls long, flexible stems completely covered in large, single and delicate flowers, ranging from cherry-red to purple-throated. Its vigour is such that it almost forms a weeping bush, unfurling waves of immense flowers from summer to autumn without interruption. This impressive plant withstands rain well, making it perfect for creating swathes of colour in flowerbeds, pots, and hanging baskets (which it will overflow) and can quickly cover over ground, fences, or trellises. This fantastic Petunia loves the sun and rich, moist soils.
Our hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the hot regions of South America. The Petunia Tidal Wave F1 Cherry belongs to the Solanaceae family, it is closely related to ornamental tobacco, and its foliage also contains alkaloids. 'Tidal Wave F1 Cherry' is part of a particularly vigorous series of American hybrids, resistant to botrytis, tolerant of rainy climates, and with large delicate flowers. The plant quickly forms a mass of trailing stems, 90 cm (35.4 in) wide and spreading over almost 2 metres. This variety flowers from June to October, provided it is regularly supplied with water and fertiliser. Its cup-shaped flowers are immense, 6 to 10 cm (3.9 in) wide, in a beautiful red-pink color. The center of the corolla is a darker pink-purple. The foliage, quite downy, is particularly resistant to diseases and bad weather, with entire edges and a dark green hue.
No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive, as petunias rival pelargoniums for the splendour and length of their flowering, as evidenced by this Tidal Wave F1 Cherry variety. Plant it alone or with other Tidal Wave varieties, in large pots, or hanging baskets, as this plant will smother less vigorous companions. You can also plant it in a clump at the top of a wall, or wherever its flower-covered stems can cascade. If you want it to stand out, place several plants 60 cm (23.6 in) apart to form a frothy ground cover at the base of roses or grey-leaved shrubs like artemisias or 'Silver Anniversary' buddleia.
Please note that our young plants in mini-plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, frame) at a temperature above 14C° for a few weeks before planting outside once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
Plant your Tidal Wave petunias in a sunny site or possibly in partial shade, sheltered from the wind. These plants are resistant to botrytis (a pathogenic fungus that occurs in humid climates), and tolerate cool and humid climates very well without affecting their flowering. They need a light, moist and humus-rich soil and greatly appreciate fertiliser. You can plant your Petunias in a pot. They need to be watered regularly. Fertiliser should be applied every two weeks to maintain flowering and intensify the colours. Remove faded blooms regularly. Pinch the tips of the stems hard to encourage the plant to branch out more.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
