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, Potunia Piccola Blue Ice 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 soft, distinctive icy blue color quality throughout the season. Mature height reaches 8–12 inches with a spread of 14–18 inches. Occasional light trimming encourages fresh branching and sustained flowering through the growing season.
