Know before you buy
Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger and more uniform in shape. This makes them much easier to handle and space out accurately during planting compared to tiny, raw petunia seeds.
No, you should not cover these seeds. Petunia seeds require light to germinate, so press them firmly into the surface of your seed-starting mix and leave them exposed.
The Easy Wave series features a more mounded growth habit and is less aggressively spreading than the classic Wave varieties. This makes them easier to manage in containers and hanging baskets while still providing a lush, cascading look.
For the best results, keep your seed trays in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F. Ensure they receive plenty of light and maintain consistent, moderate moisture.
These petunias perform best in full sun. While they may survive in partial shade, you will get the most vibrant violet blooms and the strongest, most compact plant structure by providing them with direct sunlight.
No, these are annual flowers, meaning they complete their entire life cycle in one growing season. You will need to replant them each spring to enjoy their blooms again.
