Sow Indoors or Outdoors:For earliest blooming, start Daddy Series petunia seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the final frost and transplant once there are two sets of true leaves. Daddy Series seeds will germinate within 14 days with full lighting. If transplanting outside, harden off seedlings into a partially shaded spot in the garden, or an equally moderate place indoors. Plants are very adaptable to being repotted.
Diseases/Pests/Troubleshooting:Avoid overhead watering to minimize wetting foliage as Daddy Series petunia seeds are susceptible to fungal and leaf diseases and gray mold if not properly ventilated. Plants are known to be susceptible to blight and tobacco mosaic virus, since Petunia x hybrida is closely related to the tobacco plant. Petunias have no serious pests, but monitor regularly for aphids, flea beetles, slugs and snails.
