Petchoa
Petchoa (Petchoa spp.)
Petchoa (Petchoa spp.) is a hybrid between petunias and calibrachoas, combining the best traits of both plants. Known for its abundant blooms, weather resistance, and long-lasting color, Petchoa is a standout choice for garden beds, hanging baskets, and container arrangements.
Distinctive Features
Petchoa is prized for its trumpet-shaped flowers that come in a wide range of vibrant colors, including pink, purple, orange, yellow, and red. Unlike traditional petunias, it features improved weather tolerance, non-sticky foliage, and a more robust growth habit, allowing it to perform well in various conditions.
