Growing Tips for Your Petunia Superbissima Seeds:

Petunia Superbissima is best started indoors in advance, as it takes approximately 3 months from sowing to flowering. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix and do not cover with soil. Cover the container with film or glass to retain moisture.

Maintain a temperature of 20-23°C (68-73°F) for germination, which typically occurs in 14-20 days. Once seedlings sprout, the temperature can be lowered slightly. Prick out seedlings when they have 2-3 true leaves.

Pinch back the main stem when plants have 5-6 true leaves to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Transplant outdoors into temperate, slightly acidic soil after all danger of night frosts has passed.
