Growing Non-GMO Frost Series Petunia Flower Seeds
Petunia seeds are extremely small. Nevertheless, they are simple to germinate and grow, the trickiest part is planting! Luckily this variety is pelleted which makes planting easier. For earliest blooming, begin Frost Series petunia seeds indoors about 10-12 weeks prior to the final frost date and transplant once there are at least two sets of true leaves. Frost 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 2-4 week period. They will not likely survive the transition without this process.
Plants are able to be repotted multiple times in their lifetimes. 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-decomposed compost into the soil at the time of planting or transplanting, and every 6-8 weeks 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. Follow all instructions on the manufacturer’s packaging for conventional fertilizer. Deadhead blooms regularly to promote more flowers.

About Frost Series Petunia Garden Seeds
If you have struggled to grow petunias indoors in the past or are concerned about achieving success, try providing a reliable light source such as a grow-lamp close above and a heat source underneath the seedlings. Deceivingly low light and cool temperatures that most indoor window sills provide are the most common causes of seedling failure.
Frost Series Petunia is appealing to pollinators of many species. Petunias have been winning awards for decades for their reliable and colorful blooms.
When pruning, use clean, sharp scissors and work early in the morning to avoid disease.
