Petunia's can be pigs sometimes. I bought a packet of F1 hybrids 5 seeds for £3! 1 germinated & it sat there for ages. Last week it duddenly decided to double in size!

I would think about getting plugs next year as they are a lot easier to work with!

If you want Surfina's or Million Bells, buy your plants early & grow them on in a heated greenhouse or a sunny windowsill & then take cutings & build up stock that way. A lot of the are covered by plant breeders rights, but you are allowed to propagate for your self, you just can't sell them or give them away.
