Know before you buy
Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger, rounder, and easier to handle. This is particularly helpful for small petunia seeds, as it allows for more precise spacing and easier sowing by hand or mechanical seeder.
The Dreams Picotee Burgundy variety is specifically bred for excellent heat and humidity tolerance. They are designed to remain reliable and continue blooming even when faced with challenging, rainy, or humid weather conditions.
Synchronized flowering means that all the plants in a batch will bloom within a one-week window of each other. This ensures your garden display looks uniform and consistent rather than having plants that bloom at vastly different times.
No, these are untreated seeds. They are a natural choice for gardeners who prefer to avoid chemical seed coatings.
For the best results, maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F. Under these conditions, you can expect germination to occur within 7 to 12 days.
While they can grow in the ground, they are specifically ideal for packs, pots, and larger containers. Their compact size—reaching 12-15 inches in height—makes them perfect for adding vibrant color to decks, patios, or window boxes.
