Sow seeds indoors about 12-14 weeks before the last frost. Do not cover the seeds as they need light to germinate. Maintain a constant temperature of 22-24°C and water regularly to keep the soil slightly moist. Once the seedlings are well developed, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the ground after the last frost. Plant them 30cm apart for a dense border effect or 60cm apart for a spectacular ground cover.
Tidal Wave® Red Velour F1 Petunias are perfect for adding a vibrant, sophisticated splash of color to your outdoor spaces, while requiring little maintenance for maximum impact.
