Description
The Petunia 'Cassandra F1' is one of the latest additions to this stunning series of hybrids called surfinias, much favoured by gardeners. It is a lovely selection with double flowers, in a mix of different colours ranging from pale pink to purple depending on the plants. With their attractive, compact, upright and trailing habit, and their unparalleled floriferousness, they work wonders in a romantic setting, in planters and hanging baskets.
Petunias belong to the Solanaceae family. They are closely related to e.g. ornamental tobacco, and their foliage also contains alkaloids. These annual, biennial or tender perennial plants are mostly grown as annuals, and they all originate from the warm regions of South America. The Surfinia® Petunia is a relatively recent sterile hybrid, with a trailing, weeping habit rather than an upright one, which makes it a magnificent plant for hanging baskets. It was created in Japan and is also distinguished by its beautiful and very long flowering period.
The 'Cassandra' Petunia quickly forms a bushy, semi-trailing clump that is approximately 25-35 cm (9.8 - 13.8 in) tall and 30-40 cm (11.8 - 15.7 in) in diameter. The plant flowers from June to October, provided that faded blooms are regularly removed and regular fertilisation is provided. Its cup-shaped flowers are medium-sized, about 5 cm (2 in) wide, double, and tightly packed on dense foliage. The color palette includes pale pink, candy pink, deep pink, and rose-purple. The foliage, quite downy, has full edges and a dark green hue, and is vigorous and healthy. This variety tolerates heat quite well.
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 in terms of splendour and length of flowering, as demonstrated by this 'Cassandra' double selection. Place them in large pots or hanging baskets, mixing up the colours: add a dark blue or white Surfinia Petunia for contrast. You can also plant your petunias in flowerbeds, to punctuate plants with gray foliage such as candytuft, coastal cineraria, or wormwood. If you want to stand out, plant your 'Cassandra' petunias in groups to create an original ground cover at the base of plants such as Faassen's catmint or annual poppies in pastel colors.
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
You can plant your petunias in the ground or in a pot. To plant them in the ground, wait until the last heavy frosts have passed (surfinia petunias can tolerate a minor late frost). In the meantime pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Plant out in a sunny site sheltered from the wind. They need a light and humus-rich soil, but above all well-draining. Do not water them too much at the beginning of setting growth as they are sensitive to excess moisture. They tolerate drought well, but will need regular watering during hot summer weather. Very floriferous and rapid growing, they are hungry plants. We recommend feeding them with a liquid fertiliser for surfinias once or twice a week during the growing season. Remove faded blooms and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking beautiful and extend flowering.

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.
