HOW TO SOW PETUNIA SEED 
The seed of Double Petunias is very fine 
and should be sown inside in flats or pots, 
using a mixture of finely sifted soil, with the 
addition of some sand. ‘I horoughly water the 
soil and then lightly scatter the seed on the 
surface. Do not cover the seed with soil. 
The receptacle should be covered with a 
sheet of newspaper and a pane of glass, and 
kept in a warm location until the seedlings 
start to grow. It is important not to discard 
the Al seedlings, as these usually produce 
the best double flowers.
