Last fall I saved seeds from my Purple Wave petunias (an F1 hybrid). Mid January I planted in a soiless mix in a flat. From that I saved the 90 best plants and now have 85 that survived the transplant and are thriving in the peat cubes. I started them early so they can get a bloom or two before I start moving them to pots (Since they are F2s, it is a bit of a crap shoot as to what I will get). Anyway, 85 plants is probably about 65 or 70 more than I need, so there should be some decent ones.....and the price is right!
