Interesting info on petunias

mystic Ewing, KY(Zone 6a) Feb 21, 2003

I got my petunia seeds in today that I ordered. The planting instructions they included where wonderful and it says that they germinate according to colors (pinks, blues, whites first and reds last). That explains why my red ones are always the last to germinate and I am almost ready to give up on them. I had never heard that before thought I would pass that little tidbit along to ya'll. Of course now you might all ready know it.

How far behind do they lag? Days, weeks, a month?
Thanks

TLC I had to check my records from last year. The red ones germinated 9 days later than the the other ones.
