Planting Tips for Petunias
Petunias should be sown indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Start the seeds in seed trays with a light seed-starting mix and place them in a warm, sunny area. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space the plants 8–12 inches apart to allow for full growth and blooming.
Watering Instructions and Tips
Petunias prefer to be watered thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid wetting the leaves, as this can promote disease. Make sure the soil drains well, as petunias do not like "wet feet." During the blooming season, regular watering is essential to keep the plants healthy.
