Growing Non-GMO Double Madness 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 Madness Series petunia seeds indoors about 3 months before the final frost date and transplant once there are at least two sets of true leaves. Double Madness 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 involves gradually acclimatizing the seedlings to their new environment over a few weeks. They will die without this process.
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 regular fertilizations or compost applications. 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-strength 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 more flowers.

About Double Madness 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 provide are the most common explanations for seedling failure.
Double Madness Series Petunia is attractive to pollinators of many kinds.
When pruning, use clean, sharp scissors and work early in the morning to avoid disease.
Second only to impatiens in annual bedding plant demand, the petunia has been a popular plant for generations due to its ease of cultivation, fantastic colors, and repeat flowering from spring to frost.
The name is derived from an old Guarani word which translates to "tobacco" because the two plants are from the same family of plants.
