Category Archives: GROWING INFORMATION
Most Petunia varieties are available as both raw and pelleted seed. Pelleted seed takes a little longer time (1-2 days) to germinate compared to raw seed and requires more initial moisture.
Zinnias can be either direct sown in to the final container or started in plug trays.
Zinnia seed is large. We suggest using a plug tray of 128 cells per tray, not the normal 288 cells tray.
