Love at first sight. That was how to describe my feelings when i go
through the catalogue for trailing petunia. I sow the seeds when the sky was
overcast during the monsoon season. Usually it is like late spring / early summer weather but this
time it rains for six weeks with few hours interval. The germination rate was
70%, however only 2 seedlings survive from damping off. Three days ago, it show
off its first bloom, 2 flowers today. The flower is huge, 10cm and look like
carnation.

| this morning: it is not really blue but more like purple |
This is a double cascade blue petunia.
At 8 o’clock tonight i went out to admire the flower, couldn’t believe
that it is full moon already.

| 2 hours ago: full moon |
The progress of the other seedling will be
updated. In the meantime, enjoy the photos
I've never sow petunia seeds yet. I always buy petunias from the garden centers. Your petunias look great! I love the colour! :)
ReplyDeleteGarden centre does not have double petunia; it is easy to grow from seed
Deletei tried twice, sadly it didnt sprout at all...
ReplyDeleteThe germination rate is about 70%, however once it germinate it is very easy to care. You need good seed for good germination, the seeds is very fine hence I bought pelleted seeds from US. Surprisingly this petunia is not only beautiful but fragrant as well. Try again, it worth the effort.
