I have a big success growing petunias from seeds. It's my second year. All phases of development are so exciting! Would like to share some pictures. If someone interested in names, let me know.

Those are awesome! I especially love the last one. How old are the plants in your first pic?

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

That's so cool! I've never tried Petunias from seed. This makes me want to.

It's sounds complicated, but actually if not if you follow the routine.😎
I have tried a few techniques, including seeding in snow over soil. The trick is not cover seeds by soil, they need light to grow.

That's helpful, thank you very much. I think I have plenty of time to do them outside, if I can find some seeds, then get the timing right. If I go to a store with seeds before it gets too warm in the spring, I'll look for Petunia.

Beautiful blooms Elena! I have never been successful at petunia seed germination. I suspect the seeds didn't stay moist at some point. Do you have a means of dealing with moisture during germination?
Are any of your blooms fragrant?

Thank you, Kristi! I had also Evening Sensation, very fragrant: https://parkseed.com/evening-s...
I have used those trays: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095NWCG8W/
After seeding and spraying with the water I placed the lid and keep eyes on condensation process. After a few days I am starting to open a small holes and let it vent. Every other day I am opening more and let it seat longer. After about 2 weeks I am removing the lid completely.
That is a pretty petunia. The fragrant one I have is a dark purple. I had saved seeds with no success at germination. I may have to try that container. It looks like a good option. Thanks so much.

I do not collect seeds, all of my are hybrids, you never know what you got. Professional seeds are all in a special cover, made them easy to handle and grow.
I let mine self seed in drifts. I like to put new hybrids in pots (for a more predictable display), this makes those genetics available to my volunteers.

3Will, very nice! I wish I have enough space on ground for experiments.
Planning next season to plant a few petunias in garden beds!
I can also recommend this lady selling seeds https://www.ebay.com/str/green...
She is back in November, her seeds are not that expensive and really good.

Those are magnificent, Will! Are they scented?
