What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Petunia seeds are extremely fine and require warm soil temperatures and surface lighting for successful indoor germination before planting out.
-
Indoor Sowing (Recommended): Start seeds indoors in a sterile soil-less mix 6 to 8 weeks before planting out in late spring. Surface sow seeds directly on top of the growing medium—do not cover, as light is essential for germination.
-
Germination & Growing On: Apply bottom heat to maintain a soil temperature of 25°C throughout the 14-day germination period (cooler temperatures will prolong germination). After germination, move seedlings under grow lights at a cooler temperature of 15°C.
-
Transplanting & Outdoor Site: Harden off young plants carefully and transplant outside in late May once spring frost risks have passed, spacing plants 15 to 20 cm apart in full sun.
-
Care & Maintenance: Water regularly and feed periodically with a balanced flower fertilizer to encourage continuous, non-stop blooming through autumn.
