Growing Tips for Your Petunia Sophistica Blackberry Seeds:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Don’t Cover Seed, as light is required for germination. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for germination, which typically takes 7-12 days.

Grow seedlings at a daytime temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and a nighttime temperature of 60-65°F (15-18°C). Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, spacing them 10-14 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly and fertilize once a week for continuous blooming.
