Description
Petunia Red Carpet Collection Rimarkable is part of an innovative family of hybrids, a series of cultivars characterised by their flowers marked with a highly contrasting border around the heart of the flower, for an intensely bicolour result. The single flowers are defined by a wide border of pure white, while the flower itself is a fuchsia violet with a midnight blue centre. The plant forms a slightly trailing clump that blooms until October in containers and hanging baskets. This easy-to-grow annual quickly makes a big impact on the terrace or balcony.
Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants native to the warm regions of South America. Petunia Red Carpet Collection Rimarkable belongs to the Solanaceae family, it is closely related to ornamental tobacco and its foliage also contains alkaloids. This variety quickly forms a dense, rounded, semi-trailing clump, reaching 35 cm (14in) high and 45 to 55 cm (18 to 22in) wide, naturally very neat. The plant flowers from May to October, provided it is well watered and regularly fed. Its cup-shaped, medium-sized flowers are always bicolour. They are densely packed together on vigorous, healthy, dark green foliage with entire edges.
No other annual flowering plant has undergone such intense selection by breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive and petunias rival geraniums in terms of splendour and length of flowering, as demonstrated by this Red Carpet Collection Rimarkable variety. Plant it in large pots or hanging baskets for a stunning result. Create a harmonious colour scheme by pairing it with a Night Sky petunia. You can also plant it in borders of grey-leaved plants like ceraistes, maritime cineraria, or artemisias. If you want it to stand out, plant several to create an original ground cover at the base of catmints or annual poppies, for example.
Note: Please be aware that plug plants are products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered conditions (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before planting them outdoors once the risk of frost is passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Red Carpet Rimarkable petunias in the ground or in a pot. If you want to plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed; they will tolerate a light, late frost. In the meantime, you can pot them on in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. The petunias will flower from June to October. Plant them in a sunny or semi-shaded position, sheltered from the wind. They need light, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Do not water them too much at the beginning of the growing season, as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. They are floriferous and fast-growing, hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking good and extend the flowering period.

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.
