Quick Facts

Growing times vary with weather, soil and local conditions.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Sow on the surface

Light helps petunias germinate; barely dust the seed with vermiculite.

Start 4–8 weeks ahead

Keep moist at 72–77°F; seedlings appear in 6–10 days.

Plant out after frost

Space 12–24" in beds, or 3 plants per 10–12" pot.

Sun and drainage

Full sun and well-drained soil; deadhead to keep blooms coming.

Growing Information

Days to germination

6–10 days at 72–77°F (22–25°C).

Transplanting

Start plants indoors; direct sowing is not recommended. Sow 4–6 weeks before planting out if you grow in small plug trays (128- to 288-cell), or 6–8 weeks ahead for bigger cells and pots. Petunia seed needs light to sprout, so do not bury it: a very thin dusting of vermiculite is enough to hold it in place. Keep the surface moist so the pellet coating softens and splits. Once seedlings are up, grow them at 60–75°F (16–24°C), harden them off, and plant out when frost danger has passed.

Light

Full sun.

Plant height

8–15".

Plant spacing
