What petunia seeds are best for seedlings?

We decided to decorate the summer cottage with a good flower bed. At the family council, they decided that petunias must grow on the flower bed. But before they had never dealt with them, so the question arose, which petunia seeds are better to buy for seedlings. Enlighten, please, in this matter!

In general, the choice is very good. Petunia is one of the most beautiful flowers that can be grown in the country. In addition, the growing process does not cause any particular problems - even an inexperienced grower can decorate his flower bed with these exquisite flowers without any problems.

In general, the plant is perennial. But due to the harsh winter in most regions of our country, the roots do not survive until spring - they have to be planted again. And here it is very important to choose the right seeds.

Choosing petunia seeds

Arriving at the store and seeing the entire range, even an experienced florist can get confused. What petunia seeds are best for seedlings from all this variety? First of all, study the characteristics of the variety you like. Each pack indicates the height of the bushes, the size of the flowers, as well as their color.

When choosing, consider what size your future flower bed will have, with what flowers the petunia should be adjacent to it. The most popular petunia is large-flowered, as is understandable, because of the large-sized flowers. If you want to grow it, then look for packs of seeds on the shelves with the corresponding marks.

How many seeds should there be in a pack?

Having studied the assortment of a flower shop, a novice florist will surely notice that there are packs on sale with both 5 and 10 seeds. Of course, this is not as much as we would like. But it should be borne in mind that the percentage of germination of petunia seeds is usually very high. Even seeds expired by 2-5 years sprout almost everything. If germination turned out to be low, then in most cases the fault here lies in improper preparation for planting.

Of course, packs with 10 seeds are more expensive than packs with 5. But in recalculation, each seed is cheaper. Therefore, if you need to plant a large flower bed with the same flowers, it is better to take a large pack. If you dream of seeing your flower bed dazzling with different colors, then it makes sense to buy two small ones.
