The plugs really ought to be too young to try to flower, but they do anyway. The lighting was weird on this one (yellowish, from one of the grow lights: the flower is really more of a bubblegum-wrapper pink, not the orange it appears to be in the photo). This is a new variety for us, or at least it's a variety we weren't carrying last year: these 'Potunias' look pretty normal so far: if there's something special about them, I haven't seen it yet.
But still. It's the first Petunia of the year, and (unlike many people) I like Petunias, so it's noteworthy to me.
Hi! I like petunias too. In fact I just bought one. Anything with a flower is ok in my book. Any tips on propagation and care?
ReplyDeleteNot really; we never tried to propagate ours, and the only time I've cared for any was in the greenhouse. It probably can be done, but I don't know how they'd work as houseplants. (If you're growing them as outdoor plants, there are all kinds of sites out there that'll tell you how to do that.)
ReplyDeleteMost of what I find though are growing petunias from seeds. Not a lot on cuttings.
ReplyDeletePOtunia is a great plant-- I planted it in a container last summer, and it bloomed its head off.Papaya, an unusual color not terribly common to petunias.O love this plant!
