    Customer photo review of Petunia Seeds - Espresso Frappe Ruby

    Sow indoors, do not cover with soil, germinate under grow lights and mist to water. Also dead head spent flowers. All of mine came up they are so pretty! Love the ruffles !

    Very few seeds in the packet. I sowed the seeds and one came up. I sowed them again and nothing so far. But the one that came up is beautiful.

    Customer photo review of Petunia Seeds - Espresso Frappe Ruby

    These flowers have a velvety, rich depth of color. They have a lovely mound shape and lots of blooms! They germinated easily as well.

    Petunia Seeds - Espresso Frappe Ruby

    I had about 82% germination with these seeds. I didn't know they were coated until receiving them, but considering I could only plant one per cell given the amount, it seems like a success. Will update once they flower, but all seem like healthy plants so far and continue to grow.
