Growing Tips for Your Petunia Superbissima Mix Seeds:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Needs Light to germinate! Do Not cover with soil or other planting medium!

Gently press seeds onto the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Maintain a warm temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, spacing them appropriately in a location with full sun to light shade and average, medium moist, well-drained soil.

While tolerant of poor soils, they will thrive in better conditions. Pinching off the tops of established plants encourages bushier growth and more blooms, and regular deadheading prolongs flowering. Cutting back plants that decline in summer heat can promote a later bloom as temperatures cool.
