So last year for Mother's Day, my son gave me a pot of purple and white striped Petunias. I saved the seeds and planted them this year. They just started blooming. I have a pot of solid purple and solid white petunias, no stripes. They are pretty.

datgirl, Mine are blooming too. All purple from saved seed last year. Your striped ones must have been hybrid, but hey, you got free flowers!

Exactly. I figured they wouldn't be true to last year. Glad at least they aren't all white flowers.

I planted white petunias in daughters urns on her back porch and they are still producing! We’ve had a couple frosts and 30o nights but they are still blooming. Need to save that seed for sure.

I planted three different petunia varieties…ten seeds per envelope. Two varieties had 100% germination. I’m still waiting for #10 in the third tray.
Growing your own plants from seed is such a cost saver…if you just have to have petunias.

Petunia #10 never showed, but I have 29 petunia plants…colors are red, white, and purple. Most of them are starting to trail, but no hint of flower bud yet.
Purples will be in the deck hayrack planters. I’m in a rut, but I love that purple petunia.
For those who plant Wave petunias in a hanging basket, how many do you use? My hanging basket might be 10 inch.
I may have over planted🤭

When they say diminutive, does that mean that they staged the picture to make them look bigger?

Are Hummingbirds attracted to Petunias? Saw some climbing Petunias in one of my seed catalogues and thought they might make either a nice hanging basket or climbing up a couple of obelisks I have. They only come in pink, but that should be OK.

Are Hummingbirds attracted to Petunias? They sure do like ours!

They visit our deck petunias often, but I’m not sure if they are feeding or just looking. Their feeder hangs right next to one of the deck planters.

I scattered some Petunia seeds that I saved from a hanging basket my son gave me for Mother's Day a few years ago. Planted them on Monday, Feb 5th. Today I noticed tiny little green sprouts in one of the pots. Yay!!
