Petunia seeds should be sown outdoors on the soil surface after the last frost of spring. Petunias should be grown in an area of the garden that is sunny or partially shaded, and it thrives in a moist soil. Ideally the soil that Petunia grows in should have organic matter added at the time of sowing and be of pH 6 to 7.5.

They should be started about ten weeks before they are due to be transplanted in the garden (after the last frost of spring).

Once ready the petunia seedlings should be spaced about 20 to 25cm apart.Design and Other Uses:
