Fellow flower-lovers out there, I've got something really cool to tell you about. If you ever wanted to plant a true showstopper in your garden I would suggest the Starry Sky Petunias.
The ones that come in the burgundy variety will totally blow you away. Take a quick look at these pictures to see why.
These gorgeous blooms look like they have a sprinkle of stars on them creating this unique look. If that isn't something special, I dunno what is.
OMG! That's so cool. I never knew flowers could do that. Ha, ha! That's absolutely amazing and adds more mystique to these beautiful blooms indeed.
Petunias are the kind of flowers that can be grown from seed that's sown early indoors. Then, they can be transplanted outside after a frost. Or, they can be planted from potted plants.
The seedlings will emerge as early as 10-14 days. When the seedlings emerge you need to provide them with plenty of indoor light preferably on a sunny windowsill.
Keep in mind that you'll need to turn on the lights for about 16 hours per day and turn them off for eight hours at night. Got that?
And remember that you can't use incandescent bulbs because they do tend to get very hot. Only fertilize seedlings when they are three-four weeks old.
That means they need to slowly adjust to being outside. You can do that by having them stay outdoors for a week.
If it's still cold at night consider covering them up or bringing them indoors. Once they harden off they'll be good to go.
It toughens their cell structure and reduces transplant shock and scalding. Now that you're a pro at this, I'm sure you'll love to have these flowers in your garden.
