Petunia Seeds, Balcony Mix
Description
(Petunia hybrida pendula). This old petunia was popular with gardeners throughout much of the first part of the 20th century but has nearly been lost to cultivation because of seed companies’ interests in selling newer varieties. This variety has delightfully fragrant blooms in shades of rose, lavender and purple. Trailing plants are perfect for adding color and fragrance to window boxes and hanging baskets. The edible flowers are fun to use in salads.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Balcony Mix petunia is an heirloom variety that thrives in full sun and warmth. It grows best in well-draining, fertile soil. To ensure continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers regularly, water consistently, and apply a balanced fertilizer every two to three weeks.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your region. Once all danger of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently above 50 F, transplant seedlings outdoors. If you’re unsure of your last frost date, consult our blog post ‘Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.’
How to Sow and Plant
Gently press the seeds into the soil. Do not cover them, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85 F for the best germination results. To retain moisture, you can cover the seed tray with plastic wrap or a humidity dome. Germination typically takes 7-14 days. Gradually harden off the plants over 7-10 days before moving them outdoors.
How to Grow
Transplant petunias 6-8 inches apart in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Regular watering is essential, but avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can lead to root rot. Applying a thin layer of mulch helps retain moisture and prevent weeds. To encourage bushier, more compact growth, pinch back young plants by trimming the tips of new growth. Removing faded flowers will keep the plants blooming vigorously.
How to Save
-
Petunias will readily self-seed in mild winter climates.
-
To save seed, hand-pick the brown seed pods.
-
Take care to collect the seed pods before they burst and spread the seeds across the garden.
-
Store the seeds over winter in a cool, dark, dry place.
FAQ
Can Balcony Mix petunias be grown indoors?

Do Balcony Mix petunias attract pollinators?
Yes, petunias attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, adding life to your garden.
What type of fertilizer is best for Balcony Mix petunias?
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to keep plants healthy and flowering.
