Petunia plant named ‘Ustuni223’

#Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Petunia×hybrida cultivar Ustuni223.

#The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Ustuni223.

#The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hikone, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new disease-resistant and heat-tolerant Petunias with semi-upright plant habit and attractive flower colors.

#The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia.

#The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical plants of ‘Ustuni223’ grown in a container.

#The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Ustuni223’.

#The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., in an outdoor nursery during the spring under full sun conditions with day temperatures ranging from about 18 to about 35° C. and night temperatures ranging from about 7 to about 18° C. After planting rooted cuttings, plants were grown for about four weeks in 15-cm containers with three plants per container.
