Picobella Red Petunia (Petunia)

Picobella Red Petunia (Petunia × hybrida ‘Picobella Red’) is a compact, early-flowering petunia prized for its brilliant scarlet-red blooms and naturally tidy growth habit. This floriferous variety produces an abundance of small, vibrant flowers that blanket the foliage from late spring until the first autumn frost, creating a colourful display in containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, borders, and landscape plantings.

The vivid red blooms create striking contrast against lush green foliage and pair beautifully with white, yellow, blue, purple, and silver companion plants. Despite its compact size, Picobella Red produces exceptional flower coverage, making it ideal for gardeners looking for continuous colour in smaller spaces. The nectar-rich blooms also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the growing season.

The Picobella series is known for its dense branching, excellent weather resistance, and reliable flowering. Plants maintain a neat, mounded habit without becoming leggy, making them perfect for decorative containers, edging pathways, or mass plantings where uniform colour is desired. Their excellent heat tolerance ensures dependable performance throughout Alberta's summer months.

In Alberta, Picobella Red Petunia thrives in sunny locations and provides season-long colour from planting time until frost.
