Why choose our seeds?

• Excellent for beds, borders, and massed container displays

How to grow Merlin Blue Morn Petunia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 8-10 weeks before your last frost; petunias are slow to reach flowering size.
• Outdoors: Direct sowing is not recommended; start indoors for the best results.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots
• Fine, well-draining seed-starting mix
• Clear plastic dome or wrap to hold humidity
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of the mix and press in gently; do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.
• Mist to settle the seeds; keep the surface evenly moist.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Light is required for germination; bright light keeps seedlings stocky.
• Temperature: 70-75°F (21-24°C).

Germination

• Seeds germinate in 7-14 days, sometimes taking up to three weeks.
• Grow seedlings on under strong light to prevent legginess.

Transplanting

• Transplant to individual pots when seedlings have several true leaves.
• Plant out after all danger of frost, spacing plants about 12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the heaviest bloom.
• Water: Water when the surface of the soil feels dry; petunias dislike constantly soggy soil.
• Fertilizer: Feed every two weeks with a diluted balanced fertilizer; hungry plants stop blooming.
• Deadhead spent blooms to keep flowers coming all season.

Bloom Time:

Late spring to the first frost; plants bloom continuously.
