Latin Name: Petunia × hybrida ‘Constellation’

Petunia × hybrida ‘Constellation’ is a mesmerizing night-sky petunia variety, celebrated for its unique, galaxy-like blooms. This annual features 2–3-inch-wide flowers with deep purple or blue backgrounds speckled with white star-like flecks, resembling a celestial map. The trailing habit (10–14 inches tall, 24–36 inches wide) makes it perfect for hanging baskets, containers, and ground cover.

‘Constellation’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, blooming profusely from spring to frost. Its velvety, slightly ruffled flowers contrast beautifully against dark green foliage. While drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture enhances flowering.

This low-maintenance cultivar is self-cleaning (no deadheading needed) and exhibits good heat tolerance, though heavy rain may damage blooms. Watch for aphids or slugs but generally resists disease.

A 2021 All-America Selections (AAS) winner, ‘Constellation’ adds cosmic charm to gardens, glowing vividly under moonlight and sunlight alike. Its unpredictable star patterns make each bloom a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
