Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Petunia seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting. However, you can soak the seeds in warm water for a few hours to soften the seed coat, which may aid in germination.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Fill seed trays or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix. Scatter the petunia seeds evenly over the surface of the soil, lightly pressing them into the soil. Do not cover the seeds with additional soil, as they need light to germinate. Mist the soil surface with water to moisten it, or bottom-water by placing the tray in a shallow container of water until the soil is evenly moist.
Germination:
Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Petunia seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed at least two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outdoors. Choose a sunny or partially shaded location for planting, such as hanging baskets, containers, or garden borders. Space the seedlings according to the mature spread of the variety, typically 8-12 inches apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Water petunias regularly, especially during hot, dry weather, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and maintain plant appearance. Monitor for pests and diseases, such as aphids or fungal infections, and treat as necessary with appropriate control measures. Prune leggy or overgrown stems to promote bushier growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Protect petunias from strong winds, which can damage delicate stems and flowers, especially in hanging baskets or containers.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.
