Know before you buy
The Burgundy Star features a more controlled, mounded habit compared to the classic spreading Wave petunias. This makes it better suited for containers and hanging baskets where you want a tidy, upright shape rather than a wide, trailing groundcover.
No, these seeds should not be covered. They require light to germinate, so press them gently into the surface of your seed-starting mix and keep them in a bright location.
For the best germination results, maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F. Once the seedlings are established, they prefer daytime temperatures of 65-70°F and nighttime temperatures between 60-65°F.
Yes, these are pelleted seeds. The coating makes them easier to see and handle during the sowing process, which is particularly helpful given their small size.
While they are more compact than traditional varieties, these petunias still have a spread of 30-39 inches. Ensure you have enough room in your containers or garden beds to accommodate this width as the plants mature.
No, these are annual flowers. They are designed to provide a full season of vibrant color, but they will not survive the winter to return the following year.
