Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Greetings from Jaroměře petunia grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. While it can tolerate partial shade, it needs full sun for the best flower production. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming, and pinch back young plants for bushier growth.

When to Grow

Start petunia seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost to ensure early blooms. Transplant seedlings outdoors only once all danger of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently above 50 F. In warm climates, petunias can also be directly sown in the garden in early spring or fall. If you’re unsure of your last frost date, refer to our blog postOur Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.’

How to Sow and Plant

Surface sow the seeds but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil evenly moist and very warm, at a temperature of 70-85 F. Once seedlings develop several true leaves, transplant them into larger containers or directly into the garden, spacing them 10-12 inches apart to give them enough room to grow.

How to Grow

Water the plants about once a week. A balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks will encourage better flowering. If plants become leggy, trim them back by one-third for fresh growth. In extreme heat, blooming may slow down, while light afternoon shade can help reduce stress. Regular pruning and deadheading will keep the plants healthy and blooming continuously.

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.
