Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Petunia seeds are very fine and do not require special preparation. Handle them carefully to avoid losing them.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost.

Fill seed trays or pots with a high-quality seed-starting mix.

Scatter the seeds on the surface of the soil without covering them, as they need light to germinate.

Gently mist the soil with water to ensure it is evenly moist.

Germination:

Cover the seed trays or pots with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to retain moisture and create a greenhouse effect.

Place the trays or pots in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight.

Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed at least two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.

Transplant seedlings into their permanent location, spacing them 10-12 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Pinch back the tips of young plants to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.

Remove spent blooms (deadhead) to extend the flowering period and keep the plants looking their best.

Monitor for common pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and spider mites, and treat as necessary with insecticidal soap or other appropriate measures.
