It is either a surfinia or a petunia. Does it have a perfume?

Dottydaisy2> Hi there, unfortunately I cant get to it to smell it but from the responses I received it looks like it is a Petunia or Surfinia.

Thank you to everyone for your help.

tell me is surfinia a type petunia ,or are they the same thing,

3 Oct, 2009

 

A Surfinia 'is' a Petunia, it's a trailing one, their stems are several feet long.

Yours is a lovely colour :-)

Louise is right - the plant in the picture is a Petunia - whether its a surfinia variety is uncertain until you see its growth habit. I doubt it is a surfinia variety, though, because of its colour.

thanks' I had both this summer I put what I call ordnery along the back of my boxes whitch are on brackets on the wall of the house and bought trailing ones for the frunt, they have been a fabules show, and now the plants are dead but ther is still a profusion of flowers allthough I stoped wortering about ten days ago, I am wating to clear my boxes but the flowers are stil so lovley I havent the hart to pull them out.

You and me both, Cliffo - my balcony's still got a 3 foot drop of surfinia petunias hanging down, looking fab from a distance, though not so good from the balcony! Windy tonight though, spect it'll rip them to shreds...

good that means I can put them in the compo and prepair the boxes I have planted around 500 bulbs today , so after tomorrow I will have little to do untill my fruit tree and bushes arive next month ,ho'' I have just rememberd I have another hundred crocus to come yet, I wonder if the lady next door would like a little gift!!

Unfortunately, I've stopped planting crocus - just provides a feast for the damn squirrels, who dig them up almost as fast as I can plant them.
