Product Information
Fully double petunias with fringed flowers and beautiful white and rose picotee patterns, the Pirouettes are known for their 7.5-10 cm (3-4") blooms. Excellent annual plants suited for most locations they continue to be a popular choice for bedding plants, containers and hanging baskets. Their compact upright habit further showcases these terrific bi-color flowers.
IMPORTANT – Petunia seed is pelleted. The petunia seed is pelleted to aid in planting. Sometimes the seed pellets can become crushed during shipping/transportation which can result in gardeners finding yellow dust-like particles in the packet but please note that the seed is still in the packet. We suggest gently tapping the contents of the packet onto damp paper towel. The yellow will dissolve and you will quickly see the small black petunia seeds for planting.

Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting into their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant spacing directions below. Pick a location sheltered from the wind and receives at least 6 hours of sun per day. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Petunias require full sun, or they will become spindly. They do not flower well in shade.
- Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer as this will encourage more foliage than flowers.
- Regularly removing spent flowers, known as deadheading will promote continuous blooming and encourage the growth of fresh buds.
- Petunias put alot of energy into flower and by midsummer, most petunias tend to get leggy, producing blossoms at the tips of long, leafless stems. To keep petunias tidy and flowering, prune the shoots back to about half their length. This will encourage more branching and more flowers.
