How to Sow Double 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. Thoroughly 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 small 
seedlings, as these usually produce the best 
double flowers.
