How to Grow Petunias from Seed: Sow Petunia seeds indoors 10 - 12 weeks before planting out. The flower seeds are extremely tiny, so press them gently onto the soil surface without covering, and keep the soil wet for the best germination. Five or six weeks after sowing the seeds, transplant the seedlings into 3 inch pots, and grow on in cooler temperatures with plenty of light. Harden young plants for 10 - 14 days before planting outdoors after last frost date. When planting outdoors, pinch the young seedlings back to encourage branching. The flower care includes regular fertilization and deadheading. The plants will continue to flower all season if the spent stems are occasionally pruned back. It is best to shelter these flowers from hard rainfall.
