Petunias

[gholton]

I grow great flowers just tired of buying each year. How do I propogate from existing petunias??

You can harvest the seeds, which are very easy to sow the next year and to bloom. Usually the flowers pollinate themselves naturally and end up with seed pods with many little black seeds. Just wait for the seeds to ripe, which means the seed pod has turned brown and dry. Remove the pod, save the seeds, store them in a cool dry place, and sow them next year. I did this with last year's petunias and this year I have lots of excellent new plants.

Petunias don't grow from cuttings...

Hi Gholton,

Great advice from Lily. The seeds are very tiny and I found that mine didn't come true from seed, but I didn't mind.
