Unwins Flower Petunia Espresso Frappe Rose - 30 Seeds

You can sow seeds indoors from February to April. For outdoor sowing, the flowering period begins in June.

While pelleted for ease of handling, the seeds are still tiny and require careful sowing. Sow thinly on the surface of moist compost and do not cover. Keep them consistently moist during germination.

They prefer full sun and a sheltered spot. They are particularly suited for planting in patio pots or hanging baskets.

Water well in dry weather and feed plants regularly with a liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season.

Allow approximately 30 cm between plants when planting them out in their final positions.

These petunias perform best in full sun. While they might survive in partial shade, flowering will likely be reduced, and the plants may become leggy.

Hardening off is the process of gradually acclimatizing young plants, grown indoors or in a greenhouse, to outdoor conditions over a period of 2–3 weeks before planting them in their final garden spot.

Ensure the seed compost remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a stable temperature between 18–25°C. Dry conditions are a common cause of failed germination.

Provide adequate light but shade from direct, intense sunlight. Ensure proper spacing as plants grow to prevent overcrowding.

Ensure plants are receiving adequate sunlight and are being fed regularly with a suitable liquid fertilizer. Consistent watering is also crucial.

This can indicate overwatering or a lack of nutrients. Check soil moisture and consider feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
