Petunias have tiny, dust-like seeds that take a long time to develop into sturdy seedlings. Start seeds 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date.
This covers much of the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Aim for late April to mid-May. If the spring is particularly rainy and cold, wait an extra week.
Before moving indoor-grown plants directly into the sun, place them outside in a shaded, sheltered spot for a few hours a day, gradually increasing their exposure over a week.
In a small gardening village, there lived a young gardener named Emma. Emma loved nothing more than growing vibrant flowers to brighten up her neighborhood. One year, she decided to plant a stunning petunia garden, but she wasn't sure when to start.
