Petunia Amore Queen of Hearts ('Damorqueen'PBR) (Amore Series)
petunia [Amore Queen of Hearts]
A tender, mound-forming to semi-trailing perennial, mostly grown as an annual for summer container or bedding displays. It has ovate, sticky and hairy, green to grey-green leaves and, from late spring into autumn, trumpet shaped flowers. A novelty variety that has unusual heart shaped patterns on the bloom, created by bold creamy yellow striped markings on the rich rose pink flowers, to give five pink inward facing hearts around the edge of each bloom.
