Italian Petunia Flower Seeds Mixed Colours for Pots and Hanging Baskets

Description

Italian petunia seeds for a free flowering seasonal ornamental, suited to gardens, balconies and containers for beginners and seasoned growers alike. Blooms come in white, pink, red and purple, with some varieties showing more than one colour, filling beds and hanging baskets with colour for the whole season and drawing butterflies and other pollinators. Scatter the seeds on light soil rich in organic matter, cover with a very thin layer, and give 5 to 6 hours of sun a day with even, never waterlogged, moisture. Germination takes 7 to 14 days; transplant once several true leaves appear, and expect flowers 70 to 90 days after sowing. Removing faded blooms and feeding with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks, with extra potassium as buds form, keeps the display going longer.
