Quite a Few Petunias

[Sabina515]

Hi, fellow gardeners,

What is the key to keeping lovely petunias? Every year I plant them in pots where they get plenty sun and water, but before the summer ends, they are leggy and and not as lush as when they were planted. Thanking you in advance for your help. These that are posted are simply beautiful.

Do you fertilize your petunias? I use a bloom booster and they stay great! They grow so much and spill over the pot in blooms I love it. Up until some in August then I have a problem with aphids or something and they are almost gone.

Do you plant petunias? Do you have any petunia hanging baskets?

Used to grow many varieties, when I was a child, so pretty.

Trim them back mainly. Make sure they don't get too dry or wet.

I have noticed some Petunias are starting to die back where some are still blooming strong.

They do like Dead Heading and some fertilizer.

I had some I liked for Hanging Baskets.

I was going to Clone but felt it was too late so I cut them off and they are coming back fine I'm going to put them in my Greenhouse and take cuttings off.
