Petunia Limbo Silver Blue is a compact, early-flowering petunia that dazzles with soft silver-blue blooms. Its mounding habit makes it perfect for borders, containers, and hanging baskets, where it creates a carpet of colour throughout Cape Town’s summer. Known for its resilience and profusion of flowers, this variety thrives in sunny spots and rewards gardeners with continuous blooms that shimmer beautifully in the light. In Cape Town’s Western Cape climate, Petunia Limbo Silver Blue flowers prolifically from spring through summer and well into autumn, typically September to May, with peak blooms in the warmer months.
Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost. Position in full sun for best flowering results. Water regularly, keeping soil moist but not soggy, especially during hot Western Cape days. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced fertiliser to maintain lush growth and vibrant colour.
Petunia Limbo Silver Blue is bred to flower earlier than many petunias, meaning you’ll enjoy its shimmering blooms sooner in the season, perfect for creating instant impact in Cape Town gardens.
