PETUNIA TRIAL: BED VERSUS CONTAINER The MYP living catalog trial traditionally features vegetative petunias in ground beds as well as first-year introductions in standalone containers. In recent years we observed some new petunia varieties performing very well in containers their first year and not as well in beds in subsequent years. In the 2022 trial garden we decided to grow a large percentage of our petunias both in grounds beds as well as containers in order to more accurately evaluate their performance in different growing applications. Browse these comparison photos to see whether your favorites grow well in containers or in ground beds – or both! – and help your customers select the right variety for their home gardening needs.
Petunia DuraBloom Royal Pink Dümmen Orange
The DuraBloom series is the flagship garden performance series in the Dümmen Orange petunia offering. This variety is mounded and early to bloom and thus works well in a pot, and also has excellent garden performance and weather tolerance. It will perform very well for homeowners who choose to plant a full bed of it. Think of this as Dümmen Orange’s “Vista Bubblegum”. 26
