Growing Non-GMO Pirouette Rose 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 Pirouette Rose Petunia seeds indoors about 3 months before the final frost and transplant once there are at least two sets of true leaves. Pirouette seeds will 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 moderate location inside. Hardening off involves gradually acclimatizing the seedlings to their new environment over a few weeks. They will die off quickly without the hardening-off process as expressed.

Plants are able to be repotted 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 then every 6-8 weeks apply a fresh handful at the base of the plants, then water it in thoroughly. Frequent fertilization may not be required for healthy and already fertile soils.

About Pirouette Rose Petunia Garden Seeds

If you have struggled to grow petunias indoors in the past or are worried about achieving success, try providing a light source such as a lamp or grow light close above and a heat source underneath the trays. Deceivingly low light and cool indoor window sills are common culprits for seedling failure.

Pirouette Rose Petunia is attractive to pollinators of many kinds. The Pirouette Rose Petunia debuted as the 1987 All-American Selections (AAS) Flower Winner for its "excellent garden performance and continuous display of contrasting colors."

When pruning, use clean, sharp scissors and work early in the morning to avoid disease.

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 cultivation and repeated flowering from spring to frost.

Petunia is a genus that includes at least 20 species native to South America. The genus name is derived from an old Guarani word meaning "tobacco" since the two plants are both in the same family of plants.
