I agree with Roger's review; my petunias have taken well since delivery, but at flowering I noticed there are very few white spots? We'll see over time?

Description
Petunia Splash Dance 'Bolero Blue' is a variety with speckled flowers that retains its pattern even in hot weather. It has large, single funnel-shaped flowers in a deep violet-blue, speckled with white, like a night sky. Unlike other speckled varieties, its colour does not vary with temperature. It is an early, semi-trailing variety that is perfect for ornamental containers and hanging baskets to bring life to the terrace or balcony from May-June to October.
Petunias belong to the solanaceae family; they are closely related to ornamental tobacco and their foliage also contains alkaloids. These plants can be annuals, biennials, or perennials, but they are usually grown as annuals and are all native to the warm regions of South America.
The 'Bolero Blue' Petunia is part of a new series of hybrids with unique speckled patterns that are not temperature-dependent. It forms a dense, semi-trailing clump, with long hairy stems that reach heights of 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12in) and spread 50-60 cm (20-24in) wide. The plant flowers from May-June to October, provided it is regularly watered and fed. Its large, cup-shaped flowers are about 7-8 cm (3in) in diameter. Each flower is unique, with varying degrees of white speckling on a violet-blue background with a very dark throat. The flowers open against vigorous and healthy, dense, dark green foliage. The hairy leaves are ovate and pointed, with an entire margin. This variety requires very little maintenance: simply remove faded flowers regularly.
Plant the 'Bolero Blue' Petunia in large pots or hanging baskets, alone or accompanied by harmonious varieties such as 'Blue Picotee' or 'Black Ray' with black flowers, for an intense duo. For contrast, choose a variety with white flowers like 'Snow Blanc' or 'Heavenly Blue'. When planted en masse, several plants will form a ground cover at the base of pastel-coloured flowering plants such as annual poppies. No other annual flowering plant has received such intense selection from breeders for such a long period. The results are impressive, as petunias rival geraniums in splendour and length of flowering.
Supplied as growing plants measuring 4 to 8 cm (2 to 3in) in trays of 5 small plug plants measuring 2.8 cm (1in) in diameter and 4 cm (2in) high, labelled separately. Our plants are at least eight weeks old and strong enough to be planted in the ground.
Note: Attention, our plug plants are products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in sheltered areas (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being planted outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
You can plant your Splash Dance 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 (surfinia petunias can tolerate a late frost). In the meantime, you can grow them on in a pot in a warm and bright place to speed up their growth. Plant your petunias in a sunny location sheltered from the wind. They need light and humus-bearing, well-draining soil. Do not over-water them at the beginning of their growth, 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 a liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking beautiful and extend their 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.
