Amazonas Plum Cockatoo Petunia

Amazonas Plum Cockatoo Petunia (Petunia hybrida Amazonas 'Plum Cockatoo') is a wildly exotic and visually arresting variety that turns the traditional petunia on its head with a fantastical combination of a deep, rich plum center dramatically surrounded by ruffled, lime-green edges — a tropical, almost sculptural color combination that evokes the extraordinary plumage of an exotic bird and brings an unmistakable sense of the unusual and unexpected to mixed container arrangements, hanging baskets, and patio displays.

Grown from professional-grade nursery stock, Amazonas Plum Cockatoo arrives with a healthy, well-established root system ready to establish quickly and produce its extraordinary bicolor blooms continuously throughout the warm season. The dramatic plum-and-green combination is genuinely unlike anything else available in the petunia world — a true conversation-starter and focal point that rewards adventurous gardeners with a one-of-a-kind seasonal display that guests will invariably stop to admire and ask about.

• Exotic Plum & Lime-Green Bicolor Blooms: A rich, deep plum center surrounded by ruffled, lime-green petal edges creates a fantastical, bird-of-paradise-inspired color combination that is genuinely unlike any other petunia available — bringing tropical exoticism, sculptural drama, and unabashed garden personality to any container or planting design.
• Unmatched Conversation-Starter Appeal: The extraordinary plum-and-green bicolor combination is so visually unexpected and distinctive that it invariably becomes the focal point of any patio display — a guaranteed conversation-starter that sets the garden apart from the ordinary with effortless, exotic flair.
• Ruffled Petal Texture Adds Dimension: The lightly ruffled petal edges enhance the exotic, sculptural quality of the blooms, adding tactile dimension and visual depth to the striking bicolor color combination and creating a more opulent, layered floral effect than flat-petaled varieties.
• Vigorous Season-Long Bloomer: Maintains prolific bloom production and vivid bicolor color quality through summer heat and humidity, delivering its extraordinary plum-and-green display in continuous succession from spring planting through the first hard frost of autumn.
• Professional Grade Root System: This plant arrives with a healthy, well-developed root system that establishes quickly and delivers reliable, prolific bloom production of its extraordinary bicolor flowers throughout the entire warm growing season.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun with regular, moderate watering and good drainage. As a tender perennial grown as a warm-season annual, Amazonas Plum Cockatoo performs best when planted after the last frost date and blooms continuously until frost. Regular feeding with a balanced, bloom-boosting fertilizer maintains vigorous growth and the vivid intensity of the plum-and-green bicolor blooms throughout the season. Mature height reaches 10–14 inches with a spread of 18–24 inches. Occasional light trimming encourages fresh branching and sustained flowering through the growing season.
