Growing huge petunias isn’t as hard as you might think. We found that making good choices before you plant and following a regular schedule gave us an edge in taking our petunias to the next level.
Not all the petunia photos in this video were taken by me (when Stacey and I did our petunia trials, we didn't think about taking photos at that time). In addition to my own photos, I used images provided by Proven Winners, Adobe Stock Images, Penn State Plant Trials, and other plant companies.
