Know before you buy
This plant thrives in full sun, meaning it needs at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its vibrant color and bloom production.
It is highly versatile and performs beautifully in both hanging baskets and containers, as well as directly in garden beds. Its mounding, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for spilling over the edges of pots.
While these plants are heat and drought tolerant once established, they prefer moist, well-drained soil. Check the soil moisture regularly and water when the top inch feels dry to ensure continuous blooming.
No, Trixi Who Knew Orleans is not considered pet-safe. It is best to place these containers in areas that are inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
No, this is an annual plant. It is designed to provide a full season of color from late spring through mid-fall, but it will not survive the winter to return the following year.
Yes, the combination of Petunia, Verbena, and Calibrachoa is a natural magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds, making it a great choice for supporting local wildlife.
