My Secrets to Growing Massive Petunias

Growing huge petunias isn’t as hard as you might think. We found that making good choices before you plant and following a regular schedule gave us an edge in taking our petunias to the next level. Not all the petunia photos in this video were taken by me (when Stacey and I did our petunia trials, we didn't think about taking photos at that time). In addition to my own photos, I used images provided by Proven Winners, Adobe Stock Images, Penn State Plant Trials, and other plant companies. 00:00 Growing Massive Petunias 01:10 Keeping to a Schedule 01:39 Consistent Watering 06:05 Weekly Fertilizing with a water-soluble fertilizer like MiracleGro, Proven Winners, Jack's, and Beat Your Neighbor 07:28 Petunias vs Calibrachoas 08:34 Protecting petunias from pests - especially earwigs in our area - Sluggo Plus and Captain Jack's Bug and Slug Killer 10:00 Trimming Petunias After the Fourth of July 10:50 Seed Varieties vs Vegetative Cuttings 15:05 Petunias Handle Frost and Freezing 15:30 Large Petunia Varieties: Supertunia Vista, Wave, ColorRush, Supertunia, Cascadias, Flower Showers, Fun House, Easy Wave, Sanguna, SuperCal, Bees Knees, and Hippy Chick 17:42 Container Size Netta's Nursery, Posen, Michigan www.nettasnursery.com
