«Snow Ball» - Petunia Seeds

No garden should be without a display of glowing white Petunias! Or, no patio should be without a container with these white flowers spilling over the sides! Either as a bedding plant or a container plant, you will not be disappointed. Easy-to-grow from flower seeds, these annuals are so reliable and produce an abundant supply of blooms all summer long. Very carefree and very rewarding!

Sow white Petunia seeds indoors 10 - 12 weeks before planting out. The flower seeds are extremely tiny, so press them gently onto the soil surface without covering, and keep the soil wet for the best germination. Placing the trays or containers on top of the refrigerator is beneficial as the heat from the appliance keeps the flower seeds consistently warm. Five or six weeks after sowing the flower seeds, transplant seedlings into 3 inch pots, and grow on in cooler temperatures with plenty of light. Harden young plants for 10 - 14 days before planting outdoors after last frost date.

Plant Petunias in full sun and well-drained soil. When planting outdoors, pinch the young seedlings back to encourage branching. Petunia flower care includes regular fertilization and deadheading. The plant will perform well all season if it is occasionally pruned back.
