800 seeds

1. Sowing Indoors or Outdoors:

   - Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost.

     - Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Petunia seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them.

     - Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 70–75°F (21–24°C). Germination usually takes 10–14 days.

   - Outdoors: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, in late spring or early summer when temperatures are consistently warm.

     - Plant seeds lightly pressed into the soil, ensuring they are not covered.

2. Sunlight and Soil:

   - Sunlight: Petunias need full sun to thrive, requiring 6+ hours of direct sunlight each day. In hotter climates, a little afternoon shade is beneficial.

   - Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter to promote healthy growth.

3. Watering:

   - Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Petunias prefer evenly moist soil, especially during their active growing season.

   - Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease. During hot weather, check daily, as petunias can dry out quickly in containers or hanging baskets.

4. Care:

   - Thinning: Once seedlings have a few leaves, thin them to about 10–12 inches apart to give the plants space to grow and ensure good air circulation.

   - Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growing season, especially if you’re growing them in containers. Use a fertilizer high in phosphorus for better blooming.

   - Deadheading: To encourage more blooms, regularly pinch off dead or spent flowers (deadheading). This will promote bushier growth and more flowers throughout the season.

5. Harvesting and Maintenance:

   - Deadhead the spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flowering.

   - Petunias are great for containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds. Their compact, trailing growth makes them a perfect choice for hanging pots or window boxes.
