Petunia 'Ez Rider Red'
Supplied as easy-to-sow pelleted seed and as raw seed. Our two new controlled growth series solve the seasonal, geographic and control challenges of traditional petunias. Fewer PGRs are needed – up to half the amount – and even no PGRs under some growing regimes. Both Ez Rider and Lo Rider varieties are suitable for cold-growing. The tight bloom window across each series lets you ship and display all colors at the same time. Better branching with improved airflow versus other compact petunias means there is less chance of disease, especially Botrytis, for more appealing appearance and better hold ability through the entire chain. Available in the top-selling colors that make up 75% of petunia sales, Ez Rider and Lo Rider give growers and retailers the colors that sell! Consider this the perfect collection for growing and selling high-density cell packs up to “promo” hanging baskets. With enhanced, longer performance in beds and landscapes, the plants hold together and don’t lodge later in the season like traditional petunias can. Blooms Early Spring, Spring, Late Spring, Summer, Late Summer.
