Environment
Plant Petunia in light, rich soil that is well-drained. It thrives in full sun and should be spaced 8" to 12" apart in beds. To germinate, sow seeds in trays or flat beds, pressing them into the soil without covering. Optimal germination temperature is 70-75°F, with germination occurring in 7-21 days. When transplanting into the garden, space plants 7-18 inches apart. For continuous blooming, lightly trim back plants after initial flowering. Petunias also make ideal container plants.
