Petunia (Petunia Multiflora Quinto Blue) - Whether trying to fill window boxes, hanging baskets, or a flower bed, this blue Petunia will be perfect for you. It establishes easily from Petunia seeds, and the dwarf, compact plants get absolutely smothered by blue flowers. What a gorgeous display! Multiflora blue plants have medium-sized blooms, about 2 inches across, and they are extremely prolific. They are also more disease tolerant and withstand rain better than the larger Grandiflora variety.
Sow Petunia seeds indoors 10 - 12 weeks before planting out. The flower seeds are extremely tiny, so press them gently onto the soil surface without covering, and keep the soil wet for the best germination. Placing the trays or containers on top of the refrigerator is beneficial as the heat from the appliance keeps the flower seeds consistently warm. Five or six weeks after sowing the seeds, transplant seedlings into 3 inch pots, and grow on in cooler temperatures with plenty of light. Harden young plants for 10 - 14 days before planting outdoors after last frost date. Plant Petunias in full sun and well-drained soil. When planting outdoors, pinch the young seedlings back to encourage branching.
