Petunia, Superbissima Giant Rose
Gargantuan lavender to rose-colored blooms with deeply ruffled edges will have you wondering if this is actually a petunia! This is the amazing petunia that we used in the Baker Creek test kitchen to make cherry limeade. Boil the petals for a teal-colored beverage; adding a squeeze of lime will turn the mixture bright pink! This “superbissima type” petunia has blooms that reach almost 7 inches across. It comes from Cerny Seed Company in the Czech Republic. The blooms are sweetly scented and have a cherry flavor. This mammoth petunia looks stunning in pots, beds and borders, and it is also highly attractive to a range of pollinators.
