How to grow FotoFinish Red Trailing Petunia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost. Petunia seeds are tiny — handle with care.
• Outdoors: Outdoors: Direct sowing is not recommended; start indoors for best results.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Clear plastic wrap or a humidity dome
• Optional: seedling heat mat
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of moist seed-starting mix — do not cover the seeds, they need light to germinate
• Press gently for good soil contact and mist lightly to settle

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light from sowing onward; seeds need light to germinate
• Temperature: 70-75°F (21-24°C)
• Humidity: Cover with plastic wrap or a dome until sprouts appear, keeping the surface moist

Germination

• Expect germination in 5-10 days
• Remove the cover once sprouts appear and give strong light to prevent stretching

Transplanting

• Transplant after all frost danger has passed when seedlings have 2-3 true leaves
• Harden off over 7-10 days
• Space plants 10-14 inches apart in beds; use 3 plants per 10-12 inch container

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the most flowers
• Water: Water regularly; containers may need daily watering in heat
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2 weeks with a balanced fertilizer for nonstop bloom
• No deadheading required, though trimming leggy stems encourages fresh growth

Bloom Time:

Spring through first frost.
