Petunia Milliflora Picobella Salmon

Petunia Milliflora Picobella Salmon Seeds

Petunia milliflora Picobella Salmon is an F1 hybrid from the Picobella series by Syngenta Flowers, classified within the milliflora group which produces miniature flowers typically measuring 4–5 cm in diameter on dwarf, compact plants. The salmon color provides a warm, coral-toned bloom that complements both mixed and single-color arrangements with a soft, natural appeal.
Picobella was developed as an improved replacement for the Fantasy milliflora series, offering notably better vigor, weather tolerance, and garden performance. Plants are mounded and self-cleaning, meaning spent flowers drop naturally without the need for regular deadheading. This makes Picobella one of the lowest-maintenance petunia series available.
