Petunia (Petunia Multiflora Quinto Violet) - This Petunia, grown from flower seed, is marked by a mounded and compact habit, making it great as a bedding plant or for containers. It produces a multitude of small violet blooms and will form a carpet of violet color all summer long. Grow these plants for weather and disease resistance with excellent summer through first frost performance. No wonder they are such a popular annual world-wide. Plant Petunias in full sun and well-drained soil. They need a location where they receive a minimum of 7 hours of sun each day.
How to Grow Petunias from Seed: 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. Five or six weeks after sowing the seeds, transplant the 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. When planting outdoors, pinch the young seedlings back to encourage branching. Because they are heavy feeders, Petunia flower care includes regular applications of a balanced liquid fertilizer.
