Know before you buy
The Easy Wave series features a more mounded growth habit compared to the classic, sprawling Wave varieties. This makes them better suited for containers and hanging baskets where you want a full, controlled shape rather than a wide, trailing spread.
No, do not cover the seeds. Petunia seeds require light to germinate, so they should be pressed firmly into the surface of the soil rather than buried.
For optimal germination, keep your soil temperature between 70-75°F. Once the seeds have sprouted, you can transition them to a slightly cooler environment with daytime temperatures of 65-70°F and nighttime temperatures of 60-65°F.
You can expect to see germination within 7 to 12 days after sowing, provided the soil temperature is maintained within the recommended range.
No, these are untreated seeds. They come in a pelleted form, which makes them easier to handle and sow accurately.
No, these are annual flowers. They are designed to provide a full season of vibrant color, but they will not survive the winter to bloom again the following year.
