- Petunia seeds are very small (dust-like!) and need lots of light in order to germinate.
- When the plants have three leaves, plant them outside.
- Space the plants about 1 foot apart.
- If you're planting petunias in containers, use a container potting mix that will drain well.
What is the best way to grow petunias?
While petunias will bloom in bright, indirect light, they do their best in full sun. Petunias like fertile soil which drains well and is neutral to slightly acid (pH 6.0 to 7.0). Light, sandy soil is ideal. Break up the soil by digging down 6 or 8 inches, mix in some organic matter, and then smooth and level it.
Are petunias easy to grow?
Best of all, petunias are amazingly easy to grow, both in the garden and in containers. There are literally hundreds of named petunia varieties. They fall into distinct categories, based on flower size and growth habit. “Spreading” types (such as “wave” petunias) are fast growers that can fill in large spaces.
