Grandiflora vs Multiflora Petunias: Which Petunia Type Should You Grow?

Grandiflora and Multiflora petunias compared side by side showing large showy blooms versus smaller flowers with heavy bloom production in containers and garden beds.


 Petunias have been a garden favorite for generations, but many gardeners are surprised to learn there are several different types available. Two of the most common categories are Grandiflora and Multiflora Petunias. While both produce beautiful blooms throughout the growing season, they differ in flower size, bloom count, weather tolerance, and overall garden performance.

If you're trying to decide which type is right for your containers, hanging baskets, or flower beds, our complete comparison guide explains everything in detail:

Grandiflora Petunias are known for producing some of the largest flowers available on any petunia. Their oversized blooms create spectacular container displays and are often chosen when gardeners want maximum visual impact.

One beautiful example is:

Hurrah Blue Vein Grandiflora petunias featuring large white flowers with striking blue-purple veining blooming in containers and garden beds.

Its large white flowers highlighted with blue-purple veining make it a standout choice for flower beds and patio planters.

Multiflora Petunias take a different approach. Instead of producing huge blooms, they create masses of smaller flowers that often hold up better during rainy or windy weather. This makes them excellent performers in landscapes and hanging baskets.

One outstanding variety is:

E3 Easy Wave Blue Sky petunias producing masses of blue and white blooms cascading from hanging baskets, containers, and landscape plantings.
