Surfing's are a heat-tolerant plant that only needs to be watered thoroughly once a week (increase this in periods of prolonged dry weather). Avoid shallow watering as it encourages shallow root growth which leads to less healthy and vibrant plants. If planting in a container, water more frequently, but don't allow to get waterlogged.

Feed a water-soluble feed once a month to allow for rapid growth and heavy blooming.

Remove spent blooms and seeds when they die to encourage new growth and prevent self-seeding. Deadhead towards the end of the growing season by removing the base of the flower. It is important to remove seeds as your plant will stop producing flowers once they are produced.

The Surfinia is a trailing species of petunia that is grown from cuttings. They are one of the most popular varieties of petunia because they allow the classic look and feel of the petunia to be displayed as a trailing plant, giving height and vertical interest into your space. The Surfinia is also rain-resistant and survive in more waterlogged conditions than other petunias, however, it should still be placed in well-draining soil for the best results.
