Petunia (Petunia Multiflora Quinto Red) - These flowers are universally known as strong-performing annuals that offer bright colors and reliable summer blooms. Nothing compares to the dazzle of Petunia Multiflora red flowers planted in a mass grouping! This variety, grown from Petunia seeds, is uniform and compact. Deadheading is not required to promote more blooms although a trimming of the plant mid-season will rejuvenate it. They are ideal for containers of all kinds as well as in the garden and will transform the look of your landscape!
Sow Multiflora red 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. Placing the trays or containers on top of the refrigerator is beneficial as the heat from the appliance keeps the flower seeds consistently warm. Five or six weeks after sowing the seeds, transplant 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. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. When planting Petunias outdoors, pinch the young seedlings back to encourage branching. They will bloom best with regular fertilization.
