Superbissima Cosmic Cherry petunias from Baker Creek are gorgeous. Planted them for the first time last year and saved the seeds that I'm going to sow today.
Ooo pretty! i got their Superbissima gernys Triumph mix & Lace veil. I got kinda worried cuz still real small after 2wks. Seems like they need at least 4wks to be potted up. Cant wait to plant them in my garden 😊
I am growing Giant Alba (superbissima) and Lace Veil petunias this year. Thank you for your instructions!
Thank you very much fir your comment Cindy. I’m pleased you liked the video. Kind regards. Gary
@CINDYHARTLEY where did you find the seeds you mentioned? Can you send me a picture of them? Thank you
Thank you for your great video. My 2024 petunia: Sparklers Petunia from Baker Rare Seeds. They're heirlooms, various shades of purple and pink, and have star-shaped petals
I appreciate and rely heavily upon you for all the valuable information you provide. I used to reside in the West Midlands but now live in Newfoundland, Canada. The growing season over here is very different from England. However, I am absolutely fascinated with Petunias. Have you grown 'Shockwave Denim?'
Thank you so much for your comment which is greatly appreciated and I’m so pleased you find my videos helpful. I love petunias too. I’ve never grown shockwave denim but I’m definitely going to look it up! Kind regards. Gary
Supertunias by Proven Winners in the states.
Thank you for your comment Erin which is greatly appreciated. Supertunias sound fantastic. I’m not sure if we can get them in the UK but in certainly going to find out! Kind regards. Gary
Is there any disadvantages in potting straight into 7cm pots from the germination tray ? Other than space saving?
Hi. Your video was so helpful. It's the middle of January here in zone 6b and I'm excited to begin. I have a grow light and very big windows. How many hours of light will be sufficient?
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Probably 7-8 hours of light per day will be sufficient however with grow lights you can supplement this. Kind regards. Gary
Thank you for this, I have germinated hundreds of seeds of petunias and so far put bunches of them into trays. So perhaps it’s time to single them out into pots. Which leads me to ask will the rest grow well enough in bunches of 8+ in larger pots or will they choke each other?
Hi Susan and thank you for your comment.
I always think plants grow better separated rather than in bunches as they will all compete for the same nutrients and water if left in bunches. I’m sure they will still grow in bunches but I think they would grow better if separated and put into individual pots. Kind regards. Gary
Thank you Gary.
What is the temperature of your Poly House where you move your Petunias to? I have a bunch of trays I just up-potted in my heated Garden House and need to move some out to my high tunnel which is not heated.
I've just sown some petunias the other day. I'm keeping them on the window sill covered with cling film at 22 degrees C. You say after you prick them out you put them in the 'poly house' not sure I heard that right? What sort of conditions would you recommend at that stage? I only have my kitchen and the outside to work with, no in between!
Thank you very much for your comment. A polyhouse is like a greenhouse but with plastic rather than glass. You kitchen will be fine, ideally on a window with plenty of light. As long as you keep them reasonably warm indoor they should grow nicely until the temperature is warm enough to plant them outside. I hope this helps and kind regards. Gary
@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen Oh nice! Thank you so much! I think this is the fastest reply to a comment on youtube ever! So very helpful :)
@@ievasproge5611 No problem at all. Enjoy growing your petunias they are amazing flowers! Kind regards. Gary
This was great. So many videos just stop at the point that the seeds are planted and don’t show the rest of the process.
Thank you so much. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Kind regards. Gary
What happens if I covered my petunias soon will they still come up?
Hi, when did you sow the seeds please and was your propagator heated?
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I planted the seeds at the beginning of April and yes, I use a heated propagator. I hope this helps and kind regards. Gary
@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen thank you for your reply 😀
youre a good guy, but it drives me crazy to see someone saying start your seeds indoors ,so you watch the video , and they ve got a lovely greenhouse or a huge polytunnel and then they say "its easy really " come on man please , and the comeback is , or you can start them on your window sill,, leggy mr lean ////// 🤣🤣🤣🤣 now where did i put my polytunnel I had it in my pocket this morning I'm sure !!!!!!!!!
Hi Stevie and thank you very much for your comment. Apologies if I’ve said something that frustrates you, that is never my intention.
After I left me allotment last year I no longer have a polytunnel or greenhouse so most of my seeds are now started in my house or small potting shed. I have bought a few of those small mini greenhouses and they help a little, and I’ve been quite successfully this year with seed germination. Once again apologies. Kind regards. Gary
