At about 11:45... when you pull the flowers off make sure to get the kallax below the flower where the seed is produced. You don't want the energy to go to seed production. I just learned this today so I thought I would share💚
Very informative. I love petunias but only bought 3 small plants, as I felt that they were overpriced. Great tips here to stretch your dollars and have a full beautiful garden. Thanks Heidi!
You don’t have to buy petunias every year. The seeds drops into the same pot when dried. Come next spring they comes back. I let them catch a little root, then gently dig them out and put them where I want them.
@@secoyare We did this last fall. Just set the pots aside for the Winter. Mostly out of laziness, these are large ceramic pots and heavy. All 4 pots are loaded with plants now, can't see the soil. These are all going to be left to grow to 5-6"s, then some cuttings will be put in water, others into soil. Supertunias do not create seed and can only be propagated from cuttings, all other petunias create seeds. However, if hybrid may not come back year 2 the same color. My blue ones came back this year a deep purple and red ones came back a deep maroon. Free flowers, I'm fine with that. As to cold killing seed. We live in Maine, gets well below zero degrees often. No idea why yours aren't coming back. The drain edge of our patio puts up dozens every Spring. And this year in pots.
How long will it take for these to start growing flowers again? I live in the northeast, so I’d be afraid that by the time I had beautiful flowers, the temps would just ruin them... lol
How interesting! I didn't know about the honey for root growth. Great video! I've been wanting to grow some petunias that aren't the same old colors. I will have to get some from my local nursery & try some propagating. Thanks for sharing!
It was obvious that this young girl pulled off the flowers but left the seed pods on the plant. This defeats the purpose. The plant may root anyway but will also put energy into producing seeds. Someone please show her how to dead head a petunia correctly. Keep gardening! We learn more as we go along.
Ah, young girl...quite the complement, over 5 decades here. This was to use the main plant to incorporate new plant material into multiple planting areas, to grow, flower and seed onto other locations. More seeds the merrier.

Thanks for the nice comment!

Thanks Chris!
You are a VERY good instructor; very thorough. Thanks!
Thank you...I hope to start up again...hurricane Ian destroyed my yard, it is just starting to revive
10:21 finally starting.
Thank-you for the time and trouble to make the video and give such great information!
Really nice job on this one! Congrats!
I've tried dipping the cut stems into cinnamon to help roots sprout. It seemed to work, but I'm a first year gardener so I may have just gotten lucky.

Supertunia have no seeds.
Some petunias need to be propagated by cuttings because they have no seeds!
Not every area stays warm enough for those seeds to grow. My area gets so cold that annual seeds don't survive in the ground

Well, not sure about the NE... your growing season is shorter indeed.

Really nice specimens there :D
Thanks! 😄Indeed! Sorry, somehow I just discovered in YT studio I can see old comments that I have not responded to. Sorry I missed yours :(
Nice job on this one! Congrats!
Thanks!
Thank you I enjoy the vidio.
Glad you enjoyed it
Learn something new propagating petunias thank you Heidi and nice meeting you at Echo today
Awesome! Nice to meet you to! Best to you in all your planting endeavors! Keep Gardening!
If using honey instead of the root grower, would I just paint the honey on the nodes using a q tip?
I usually dedicate one jar for rooting and just dip in the plant stem.
@@GardeningWithHeidi yalaaaaannnnnn :))))
Rooting powders are hormones not bacteria.
Sadly at this time that petunia planter is 29.99 !
That is crazy!!
if you are in Canada, petunia plants at NoFrills are $10
Sure is but walmart has tjem half that price

What the hell do you have on??? You didn't take off all the darn seed pods!
Lol too much work
Leaving, too much talk!!
Very chatty. All over the place. Just get to the topic please.
