How To Grow
These seeds are best sown indoors 10-12 weeks before the growing season, but can be sown outside after danger of frost. The seeds are very tiny, and should be pressed into the soil without covering. 5-6 weeks after starting indoors, transplant seedlings into 3-inch pots. Make sure to place in an area with plenty of light. Young plants should be hardened for 10-14 days before moving outdoors. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Fertilize regularly and deadhead to beautify plant and encourage new blooms. Prune occasionally.

Sow white 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 flower 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. Petunia flower care includes regular fertilization and deadheading. The plant will perform well all season if it is occasionally pruned back.
