Petunia from seed is down right frustrating! Don't feel alone. Case in point. I've tried the winter sowing method in milk jugs, and recently tried starting them in South Florida for my mother. Great weather and conditions. Dismal failure though they could have dried out one or two days. Perhaps too much heat..side of house.

Yet look at this area at that reseeds every year in the driveway! They go bananas! It would look bushier had a I not transplanted about two dozen. That leads me to think about growing and seeding them in this type of soil? It's down right dry too yet they flourish!
