Growing Non-GMO Supercascade Series Petunia Flower Seeds
Petunia seeds are tiny. However, they are easy to germinate and grow, the trickiest part is planting! Luckily this variety is pelleted which makes planting a bit easier. For earliest blooming, begin Supercascade Series petunia seeds indoors about 3 months before the final frost and transplant once there are at least two sets of true leaves. Supercascade Series seeds will germinate within 2 weeks with full lighting. If transplanting outdoors, harden off the seedlings to a sunny spot in the garden, or an equally bright place indoors. Hardening off involves gradually acclimatizing the seedlings to their new environment over a few weeks. Plants are able to be repotted throughout their lives. Supercascade Series seeds are hardy and mildly drought-tolerant. Avoid overhead irrigations to minimize wetting foliage.
When transplanting seedlings indoors to outdoors, it is paramount to slowly acclimatize them to their new environment. They will die off quickly without the hardening-off process as described. 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. Alternatively, mix well-decomposed compost into the soil at the time of planting or transplanting, and then every 2 months apply a fresh handful at the base of the plants, then water it in. This tip may not be required for healthy and fertile soils.

About Supercascade Series Petunia Garden Seeds
If you have struggled to grow petunias indoors or are worried about their success, try providing a light source such as a lamp or grow light close above and a heat source underneath the trays. Low light and cool indoor window sills are common culprits for seedling failure.

When pruning, use sharp scissors and work early in the morning to avoid problems.
Second only to impatiens in annual bedding plant sales, the petunia has been a popular plant for decades due in large part to its ease of culture and non-stop flowering from spring to frost.
Petunia is a genus that includes at least 20 species native to South America. The genus name is loosely derived from an old Guarani word meaning "tobacco" since the two plants are both in the nightshade family.
