If I could grow only one kind of petunia, the dolcissima series would be the one I'd choose, and I've grown many different types, both by...Read More seed and store-bought plants.
This is the third year I've grown this series of petunia, always from seed, and from a mixture of the 3 varieties purchased from Jung Seed and Nursery Co. The germination is terrific (I had them in a flat with other varieites and they were by far the fastest and most vigorous variety). They form stocky plants for me, and the colors are really beautiful. Mom thinks they are the most beautiful petunias. This particular pink looked almost fluorescent in the garden. I like growing the mixture, as the three varieties really compliment each other. Flower size is good, too.
One year I had a couple of plants growing in a NYC windowbox as well. They actually survived the winter and bloomed again the following spring!!! Now that's vigorous!
I wouldn't be without these in the garden, and highly recommend them!
These were no different than any other pink petunia on the market, except that they seem to need to be deadheaded alot more. Extra stick...Read Morey, too. Won't do them again. (same goes for the other two dolces,)
I enjoyed the Fragolinos very much! They grew quickly, bloomed constantly, had great colors and cascaded beautifully over their container...Read More. They grew back very quickly when they needed a "haircut".

Although the germination was low for a petunia, I will grow this one again because of the color and growth habit.
