Planting Petunias

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

If you are growing Petunias from seed it is best to start them inside before planting them outside in the spring. Make sure you leave enough room between plants.

 

Flowering in Summer

From Early Summer TO Late Summer

The petunia will bloom in the summer, producing plenty of flowers over this period.

 

Propagation by seed

From Late Winter TO Early Spring

Sow seed under glass in potting compost in early spring.
