Petunia: some growing tips
Petunia is one of the most popular summer flowers providing bright blossoming all summer in beds or containers.
It likes plenty of sunshine. Thrives in hot sunny summers and dislikes high humidity. Different kinds are available for window pots, tubs and urns, hanging baskets, and flower beds. Good soil and sufficient watering will give the best look.
When seedlings will be large enough to handle, prick them out into containers or small pots of fresh compost.
You can grow steadily acclimatized plants to natural garden conditions when all danger of frost is passed and it is constantly warm outside.
Note, that Petunias are not suitable for sowing right into soil in the garden.
Greenfly and other aphids attack both young and deep-rooted plants; grey mould can cause many problems in humid seasons and cool summers. Rain can damage Grandiflora types.
