Petunias are one of the most popular and well-known flowers that grace flower beds and borders, window boxes, hanging baskets, and planters of all shapes and sizes. Their brilliant color and long bloom season make them very rewarding to grow. They prefer full sun to partial shade, rich well-drained soil, and an occasional trimming of spent blooms will encourage a continuous, full display of color. This mix, Petunia hybrida, has eye-catching colors with shades of white, pink, salmon, scarlet, blue, and rose! This mix is not as compact as the multifloras, so they can reach 16 inches in height. Start the seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the seed into the soil but do not cover it. Keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 72 - 76F, germination normally occurs within 14 days. Pinch the young seedlings back to encourage branching. Transplant the Petunias outdoors after danger of frost has passed and space them 12 - 18 inches apart.
