Today I started the day by planting 8 French Vanilla Double Dwarf Marigolds and 9 Petunias. I have no idea what color the petunias may be. I'm hoping that they will be a mix of colors. Not that the chromatic purples weren't neat last year because they were. I'm hoping these get as large as last years plants. I had one petunia that ended up 3 feet across. My landlord didn't believe me when I said it was one plant until he pulled it up at the end of the season. He was so suprised.

good luck tammy!
have you done petunias before?

Geesh, Tammy, were those Wave Petunias you planted!

i never have luck with petunia seeds so i end up buying em already started and blooming. im not giving up got some seeds started again this year

The petunias were really easy. I was wondering if they were the wave variety. But since they stayed on the ground i wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying that. Boy some people are going to be very suprised when they plant the seeds I sent them lol.

I did them in egg cartons last year. The germination wasn't the greatest. They only need 1/8 of an inch of soil sprinkled over them. But I did get enough to fill both of the 3 foot containers out front. I'm hoping to get as many this year.

Tammy, the Wave Petunias can be grown as a ground cover and often are because they can spread up to 4 feet across in beds. They were a sight to behold and they were the first to be sold. They now come in many different varieties and colors; Original Wave, Tidal Wave, Easy Wave, and the Double Wave. The Double Wave Pink is absolutely gorgeous !

I hope we get some of the double wave up in the seed exchange. I can't afford to buy seeds but those do sound pretty. Thankyou for the information on the petunias.

Tammy, getting any kind of Wave Petunias would be great. Actually, all the Waves are beautiful! Sure wish I would have saved some of the seeds when I had them. Guess I better learn how to get their seeds and save them.
