Seed Viability: 5 years  Isolation Distance: 1/8 mile (600 feet)  

Seed Collecting: The seeds mature 4-8 weeks after pollination occurs. Collect the flower heads as they mature and the petals die. Each flower contains two cell capsules that can contain anywhere from 100 – 300 seeds. Allow the flower seed pods to dry thoroughly for 2-3 weeks and then break open to remove the small seeds.  

Seed Storage: Store the seeds in a paper envelope or inside a glass mason jar and place in a cool, dry, dark place for better preserved seed viability  

Tips: Most of the petunias sold in garden centers are hybrids, so seed saving will not always produce the same flowers the following year. That being said, the flowers that grow from hybrid seeds are sometimes very colorful and unique! Grow them year after year to develop your own regionally-adapted variety. (Double-flowered petunias do not always produce seeds)
