Vista, California – The past few years gardeners all over the country have been adding a colorful zing to their gardens with petunias ‘Lemon Zest’ and ‘Orange Zest’. Now there is another tasty flavor to add to the line, Strawberry! ‘Strawberry Zest” has the same great garden performance as the other plants in the zest line, but with veined pink blooms.
Lisa Heredia, program coordinator for VIVA!, comments “Strawberry Zest is on trend with this year’s hottest spring color – pink. The bright pink hue of the bloom, along with the deeper pink veining will make it appealing to many gardeners, particularly women.”
‘Strawberry Zest’ looks great in a patio pot, a hanging basket or in the garden. It will form mounds of color up to 12” high and 18” wide. The growth habit and high bloom count assure that ‘Strawberry Zest’ petunia will perform well for you. Like all petunias, ‘Strawberry Zest’ does best plant in full sun with consistently moist and well drained soil. Petunias benefit from regular fertilization.
VIVA! ‘Strawberry Zest’ petunia will be available in all Home Depot stores nationally this spring.
