I'm going to plant the petunia in this saucer shape pot on a tripod stand, it will make an excellent display in my front yard when the petunia comes full bloom in a few weeks time.
First I put enough potting mix into the pot and added some general fertiliser and a bit of sulphate of potash for more brilliant blooms. Mix well and it's ready for the seedlings.
Each punnet comes with 6 seedlings, just take them out of the punnet, separate the seedlings and plant them straight into the potting mixture.
Be sure to plant them evenly spaced out to maximise compact colourful blooms, this is when it can get pretty dirty but I love getting dirty in the garden working with plants. It's good therapy for stress relief.
Lastly, water the seedlings generously to soak through the mixture and just sit the whole thing in the middle of the front lawn as a centre-piece display. A few weeks later it will be covered with lots of colourful blooms which I'll post it for you to see!
