flowerishness:Petunia hybrida - PH-2012-3582 x ‘Suprise Marine’ (Night Sky petunia)Many flowers that we grow in our gardens date back to antiquity but not so the Night Sky petunia. This type of petunia is a brand new toy. Night Sky petunias were created by breeder Antonella Capo in Latina, Italy in April 2012 by crossing two varieties of petunias (PH-2012-3582 and ‘Suprise Marine’). “Seedlings were selected in April 2013, in Latina, based on the stability of the flower color pattern and the plant quality. The first Night Sky petunia was selected as a single seedling for commercialization in the fall of 2014, in Stuttgart, Germany.” They were released onto the market in North America in 2017 and, since then, they’ve become a common novelty item in plant shops. These photos represent three seasons of Night Sky petunias that we’ve grown in our garden. -- source link
