The bold purples of this petite petunia with 1½"–2" variegated flowers will make your hanging baskets pop. No two blooms are exactly alike; color patterns continue to change as they react to seasonal temperature and light variances. The plant's habit is compact, mounded, and spreading–perfect for patio containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Grown as an annual; although perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer. The extremely small seeds are pelleted with a clay-based product for ease of handling.

The three seeds that were intact are growing well. I'm looking forward to blooms in my hanging basket this summer.

When I opened the seed packet, there were only 2 - 3 actual seeds and a lot of "dust" that appeared to be a coating. I contacted customer service and was told by Cameron that it was a coating and they would send me a replacement packet. That was over 3 weeks ago and nothing has germinated, I have not received a replacement, nor have I received any response to my follow-up emails. Very disappointed in these seeds and with Botanical Interests.

Few seeds-No germination

There were very few seeds in the packet. some were broken, crumbs. The few seeds I salvaged did not germinate. It is unfortunate as I enjoy purchasing from this company and I never had an issue with any other previously purchased seeds.

Not one seed germinated! Very dissatified!
Bobby from MO
Owner Response: We are sorry you had difficulty germinating these seeds. A customer service agent will be contacting you by email. Rest assured, our seeds are tested regularly by a third-party laboratory to ensure germination rates meet federal and our own standards prior to packing them. It seems you had problems germinating a few things, specifically petunias. Some tips are that they should be started indoors, in warm media (65-85 degrees) and the seeds should not be buried, but just be pressed into the media surface. Because seeds are surface sown they can dry out quickly and a humidity dome or clear, plastic wrap on top of the seeded container will help keep seeds moist. Happy gardening!

Only two seeds germinated and died one week later

I've grown these same petunias before. First off there were not 10 seeds in the packett. They germinated well but haven't grown vigorously. They're planted in pots and I'm hoping that they take off.
Janice from NC
Owner Response: Hi Tryon, We are glad you had a good experience with the seed and it germinated as expected. By ensuring enough time for this plant to reach maturity, while providing good environmental conditions (soil, nutrients, water, sunshine, oxygen, etc,..), you can expect bold, beautiful petunias with variegated blooms. You may always reach out to us for any gardening tips along the way. Happy gardening!
