Know before you buy
Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger and uniform in shape. This makes them much easier to handle and space out accurately during planting compared to tiny, raw petunia seeds.
No, do not cover the seeds. Petunia seeds require light to germinate, so they should be pressed firmly into the surface of your seed-starting mix and left exposed.
The Easy Wave series features a more mounded, controlled habit compared to the classic, highly vigorous spreading Wave petunias. This makes them much better suited for containers, hanging baskets, and smaller garden spaces where you want a tidy, full look.
For the best performance and most vibrant blooms, these petunias require full sun. While they may survive in partial shade, you will likely see fewer flowers and a less compact, mounded shape.
This collection includes 75 pelleted seeds in total, consisting of 25 seeds each for the Berry, Burgundy, and Red varieties. Assuming successful germination, you will have enough to fill several large containers or a significant garden border.
Once mature, these petunias will grow to a height of 6 to 12 inches with a spread of 30 to 39 inches. Their mounded habit ensures they fill out their space beautifully without becoming overly leggy.
