Growing Non-GMO Picobella 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 Picobella Series petunia seeds indoors about 3 months before the final frost date and transplant once there are at least two sets of true leaves. Picobella 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 repotted multiple times throughout their lives. Avoid overhead irrigations 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. Deadhead spent blooms.
