XL Mylar Packet – Mixed Dwarf Petunia SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet The petunia, a domesticated member of the nightshade family, has its origins in South America as a cross between two native species. Since this genus also includes the tobacco plant, the common name “petunia” comes from an obscure word for tobacco. Twentieth century horticulturists such as Charles Weddle and his colleague Claude Hope are responsible for the modern hybrids of petunia available today, including this compact dwarf species. Plant the seeds indoors about 10-12 weeks before the last frost of spring. In a germination flat, press the seed into the surface of the soil; this seed needs light to germinate. Since this seed is tiny, mixing it with sand may help it spread evenly. Keep the soil lightly moist and in a warm place until germination, which usually takes 7-14 days. As soon as the seedlings can safely be handled, transplant them into individual pots; plant them outdoors after the last chance of frost. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use. The artwork and labels on the packet are loaded with information – many people comment that it is the most beautiful packet that they have ever seen. If you have never tried out our seeds before, this is your chance to experience something special!
