Planting Instructions
-
Start indoors: Sow 10–12 weeks before the average last frost date.
-
Surface sow: Spread the tiny seeds on moist, sterile seed-starting mix and press gently. Do not bury them; petunia seed needs light for germination.
-
Provide warmth and humidity: Cover with a clear lid or plastic and keep at approximately 70–85°F in bright, indirect light.
-
Expect germination: Seedlings commonly emerge in 7–10 days when conditions are suitable.
-
Grow under bright light: Remove the cover after emergence and provide strong light with good air circulation.
-
Transplant: Move seedlings into individual pots after they develop true leaves. Harden them off and plant outdoors after frost danger has passed.

No. Press them onto the surface because light supports germination.
Are the plants perennial?
Petunias are tender perennials but are normally grown as annuals in the United States because they do not tolerate frost.
