Growing Non-GMO Pelleted Double Cascade Series Petunia Flower Seeds

Petunia seeds are tiny. However, they are simple to germinate and grow, the trickiest part is planting! For earliest blooming, begin Double Cascade Series petunia seeds indoors about 10-12 weeks before the final frost date and transplant once there are at least two sets of true leaves. Double Cascade Series seeds should germinate within 14 days with full lighting. If transplanting outdoors, harden off the seedlings to a partly sunny spot in the garden or an equally intermediate location inside. Hardening off is gradually acclimatizing the seedlings to their new environment over a few weeks. Petunias can easily survive the shock of transplantation, but not quick climate change.

Plants are able to be replanted or moved multiple times in their lives. Avoid overhead water to minimize wetting foliage. Petunias bloom the most with highly fertile soil. If using conventional fertilizer, apply a time-release granular at the time of transplanting and then supplement throughout the season every 1-2 months with a low-intensity feed. Or, mix well-composted manure or other organic fertilizer into the soil at the time of planting or transplanting, and every 6-8 weeks throughout the flower season apply a fresh handful at the base of the plants, then water it in thoroughly. Frequent fertilization may not be necessary for healthy and fertile soils. Deadhead blooms regularly to promote repeated flowering.

About Double Cascade Series Petunia Garden Seeds

If you are nervous about reaching success, try providing a reliable light source such as a lamp or grow light close above and a heat source beneath the seedlings. Deceivingly low light and cool temperatures that most indoor window sills supply are the most common culprits for seedling failure.

Double Cascade Series Petunia is attractive to pollinators of many kinds.

When pruning, use clean, sharp scissors and work early in the day to prevent diseases.

Being superseded only by impatiens in annual bedding sales, the petunia has been a popular plant for generations thanks to its ease of cultivation, unbelievable colors, and repeat flowering from spring to frost.

The name is derived from an old Guarani word which is translated to "tobacco" since the two plants are from the same family of plants (nightshade).

"These velvety blooms deliver a luxurious and ruffled take on the traditional petunia. I love interplanting them with single blooming Petunias such as our Hulahoop Series."
