  2. Loosen the soil and mix in organic compost for added nutrients.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

Transplanting Seedlings

  2. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.
  3. Plant outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 10-12 inches apart.

Getting to know your Trailing Petunias

Trailing petunias are cascading flowering plants known for their abundant, trumpet-shaped blooms in colors ranging from pink, purple, white, red, and yellow. They are widely used in hanging baskets, window boxes, and garden borders, where their long, trailing stems spill over edges gracefully. These sun-loving annuals thrive in well-drained soil and require regular watering and fertilization to produce continuous blooms throughout the growing season. Petunias are highly resistant to heat, but deadheading spent flowers promotes better blooming. Some popular trailing varieties include the Wave and Surfinia series, which are known for their vigorous growth and exceptional flower production. Petunias attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making them excellent additions to pollinator-friendly gardens.

  • Their trailing habit makes them an excellent choice for spilling over walls, planters, and containers.

2. Seasonal Displays:

  • Often used in spring and summer floral displays.
  • Combines well with other bedding plants like lobelia, alyssum, and geraniums.

3. Pollinator Gardens:

Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours per day) for optimal growth and abundant blooms.

Soil:

  • Prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.

Deadheading & Pruning:

  • Trim back leggy stems to maintain a bushy, compact shape.

Mulching:
