Description
Pink Petunia Seeds (Shock Wave Series) 5953.
The Earliest Spreading Petunia with High-Impact Masses of Fast-Recovering Pink Blooms.
Pink Petunia (Shock Wave Series) (Petunia x hybrida) is the earliest-flowering spreading petunia on the market, delivering fast, high-impact colour to containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds. Growing 15 to 25 cm in height with an expansive, mounding spread, a single plant quickly fills a 25 cm hanging basket to over-flowing with masses of vibrant, 4 cm pink blossoms. These lush, self-cleaning plants bounce back from heavy summer rain faster than any other petunia, maintaining a tidy, bloom-covered appearance all season long without needing manual deadheading.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Shock Wave Petunias require warm indoor germinating temperatures and surface lighting before transplanting into sunny outdoor locations in late spring.
-
Indoor Sowing (Recommended): Start pelleted 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 medium—do not cover, as light is necessary for germination.
-
Pellet Dissolution & Germination: Gently mist sown seeds with water until the protective coating dissolves completely—dissolving the pellet is essential for germination to occur. Apply bottom heat to maintain a soil temperature of 25°C throughout the 14-day germination period (cooler temperatures will extend germination time).
-
Growing On & Transplanting: Once germinated, move seedlings under lights at a cooler temperature of 15°C. Harden off young plants before transplanting outside in late May once frost risks have passed, spacing plants 20 cm apart in full sun.
-
Care & Maintenance: Self-cleaning blooms require no manual deadheading. Water consistently and feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support rapid growth and continuous pink flower production through autumn.
