Thank u 🙏 I just bought double patina🇨🇦I know early for spring 😂 but wanted to be ready so excited this year bought a green house going up this late fall! Sk wanted my stock tj be ready
Excellent explanation video. I love growing petunias from seed. I've been growing a white wave petunia to edge my garden beds for a few years saving seeds each year. This year, I'm also trying a double Cascade blue and dreams White.
Thank John very much for your comment Mary. There are so many wonderful colours and varieties of petunias. I’ve not tried waves before but I will definitely look at them so thank you for the tip. Kind regards. Gary
Superbissima Cosmic Cherry petunias from Baker Creek are gorgeous. Planted them for the first time last year and saved the seeds that I'm going to sow today.
Ooo pretty! i got their Superbissima gernys Triumph mix & Lace veil. I got kinda worried cuz still real small after 2wks. Seems like they need at least 4wks to be potted up. Cant wait to plant them in my garden 😊
Thank you for the comment Richard. I love petunia’s and I’m sure you will grow them every year after you’ve given it a try. If you follow the tips in my video you should have a good supply of petunias each year. Kind regards. Gary
Thank you very much for your comment. There are so many wonderful varieties of Petunias and I’m definitely going to look at this one. What a fantastic name for flowers! kind regards. Gary
Thank you for your comment Erin which is greatly appreciated. Supertunias sound fantastic. I’m not sure if we can get them in the UK but in certainly going to find out! Kind regards. Gary
I appreciate and rely heavily upon you for all the valuable information you provide. I used to reside in the West Midlands but now live in Newfoundland, Canada. The growing season over here is very different from England. However, I am absolutely fascinated with Petunias. Have you grown 'Shockwave Denim?'
Thank you so much for your comment which is greatly appreciated and I’m so pleased you find my videos helpful. I love petunias too. I’ve never grown shockwave denim but I’m definitely going to look it up! Kind regards. Gary
Thank you for this, I have germinated hundreds of seeds of petunias and so far put bunches of them into trays. So perhaps it’s time to single them out into pots. Which leads me to ask will the rest grow well enough in bunches of 8+ in larger pots or will they choke each other?
Hi Susan and thank you for your comment. I always think plants grow better separated rather than in bunches as they will all compete for the same nutrients and water if left in bunches. I’m sure they will still grow in bunches but I think they would grow better if separated and put into individual pots. Kind regards. Gary
Some dear friends of mine purchased Black Petunias for me last summer, i was very diligent at collecting its seeds. I’ll be sowing them very soon! Thanks for your tips and tricks!
Hi. Your video was so helpful. It's the middle of January here in zone 6b and I'm excited to begin. I have a grow light and very big windows. How many hours of light will be sufficient?
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Probably 7-8 hours of light per day will be sufficient however with grow lights you can supplement this. Kind regards. Gary
What is the temperature of your Poly House where you move your Petunias to? I have a bunch of trays I just up-potted in my heated Garden House and need to move some out to my high tunnel which is not heated.
I've just sown some petunias the other day. I'm keeping them on the window sill covered with cling film at 22 degrees C. You say after you prick them out you put them in the 'poly house' not sure I heard that right? What sort of conditions would you recommend at that stage? I only have my kitchen and the outside to work with, no in between!
Thank you very much for your comment. A polyhouse is like a greenhouse but with plastic rather than glass. You kitchen will be fine, ideally on a window with plenty of light. As long as you keep them reasonably warm indoor they should grow nicely until the temperature is warm enough to plant them outside. I hope this helps and kind regards. Gary
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I planted the seeds at the beginning of April and yes, I use a heated propagator. I hope this helps and kind regards. Gary

Hi Stevie and thank you very much for your comment. Apologies if I’ve said something that frustrates you, that is never my intention. After I left me allotment last year I no longer have a polytunnel or greenhouse so most of my seeds are now started in my house or small potting shed. I have bought a few of those small mini greenhouses and they help a little, and I’ve been quite successfully this year with seed germination. Once again apologies. Kind regards. Gary
Thank you for your great video. My 2024 petunia: Sparklers Petunia from Baker Rare Seeds. They're heirlooms, various shades of purple and pink, and have star-shaped petals

This was great. So many videos just stop at the point that the seeds are planted and don’t show the rest of the process.
Thank you so much. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Kind regards. Gary
Is there any disadvantages in potting straight into 7cm pots from the germination tray ? Other than space saving?
Very good information👏👏

Black petunias are my favorite. Those velvety blossoms are just perfect.
I am going to try Smile
Why is he so careful not to touch the plant/leaves? Does that cause problems?
