Petunia, Bedding Double

Are you interested in cultivating beautiful and vibrant petunias? 

Petunias are a popular choice for gardeners due to their stunning colors and ability to bloom throughout the summer. By understanding the specific needs of petunias, you can create an ideal environment for their growth and maximize their beauty.

 Petunias thrive in full sunlight. Ensure that your petunias receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If you have limited sunlight in your garden, consider planting them in containers that can be moved to sunnier spots.

 Petunias prefer well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. Prepare the soil by adding organic matter such as compost or peat moss to improve drainage and fertility.

 Petunias require regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Water the plants at the base to prevent wetting the foliage, which can increase the risk of diseases.

 Feed your petunias with a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Look for a fertilizer with a ratio of 10-10-10 or 14-14-14, which provides a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
