Old Fashioned Vining Petunia (Petunia multiflora) This old petunia mix was popular with gardeners throughout much of the first part of the 20th century, but has nearly been lost to cultivation because of seed companies’ interests in selling newer varieties. This variety has delightfully fragrant blooms in shades of rose, lavender, and purple. Trailing plants are perfect for adding colour and fragrance to window boxes and hanging baskets.

Growing Information: Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds on the soil surface and press lightly—do not cover, as light is needed for germination. A humidity dome or plastic film can help retain moisture until seedlings emerge. Keep soil consistently moist and provide bright light. Seeds typically germinate in 7–14 days.
Harden off seedlings for 7–10 days before transplanting outdoors after frost. Space plants 20–25 cm apart in full sun with well-drained soil. Petunias thrive in fertile soil and bloom best with good air circulation.
