Germination may be slow and seedlings require gentle handling. Transplant into individual pots when large enough to manage. Harden off and plant out after the last frost spacing 30 to 40 cm apart.

Water regularly and feed every two weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support continuous flowering. Remove faded blooms to maintain a tidy display. Petunia Superbissima Wine Red thrives in warm sunny positions and is ideal for containers borders and decorative summer plantings.
