Latin Name: Petunia × hybrida ‘Vereanda Compact’
Petunia × hybrida ‘Vereanda Compact’ is a refined, space-saving version of the popular Vereanda series, offering the same exceptional performance in a neater package. This F1 hybrid annual features 2-2.5 inch blooms in saturated colors like royal purple, cherry red, and soft peach, with improved flower density on compact plants.
The semi-trailing habit (8-10 inches tall, 18-24 inches wide) creates lush, mounded containers without excessive sprawl, ideal for smaller gardens, balcony planters, and front-of-border placements. Its dark green, disease-resistant foliage maintains a tidy appearance all season.
‘Vereanda Compact’ excels in full sun and well-drained soil, delivering:
-
30% more compact growth than standard Vereanda
-
Same outstanding weather resistance (rain/heat tolerance)
-
Continuous flowering without deadheading
-
Earlier bloom time than trailing varieties
While low-maintenance, it benefits from occasional fertilizing for peak performance. Shows good resistance to common petunia diseases but may require aphid monitoring. Perfect for urban gardens where space efficiency meets high-impact color.
Key advantages:
-
Space-saving versatility
-
Professional-grade weather hardiness
-
Self-cleaning habit
-
Uniform, mounded growth
-
Earlier flowering
