Petunia hybrida is a vibrant, eye-catching mix of colourful petunias, known for their abundant blooms and impressive variety of hues.

 

The Latin name Petunia hybrida refers to the hybrid nature of this popular flowering plant, which has been bred to create a wide range of colours and flower shapes.

Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors: Sow seeds from January to March in seed trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost. Lightly press the seeds into the compost but do not cover, as they need light to germinate. Keep at 18-20°C for optimal germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden after the last frost.

 

Outdoors: Sow directly into prepared soil in a sunny, sheltered spot from April to May. Lightly press seeds into the soil and keep moist until germination occurs. Thin seedlings to 25-30 cm apart once established.
