Know before you buy
Unlike older, sprawling varieties, the Easy Wave Neon Rose features a more mounded, controlled habit. This makes it much easier to manage in containers and hanging baskets while still maintaining a full, lush crown.
No, you should not cover the seeds. They require light to germinate, so simply press them into the surface of your growing medium.
For germination, aim for a soil temperature between 70-75°F. Once established, they prefer daytime temperatures of 65-70°F and nighttime temperatures of 60-65°F.
These are pelleted seeds, which makes them easier to handle and sow compared to raw, tiny petunia seeds.
You can expect germination to occur within 7 to 12 days, provided the soil temperature is maintained in the recommended 70-75°F range.
These plants have a spread of 30-39 inches, so ensure you have enough room in your containers or garden beds to accommodate their mature width.
