white-flowered P. nyctaginiflora and the See also:violet- or See also:purple-flowered P. violacea
.
The varieties of petunia, especially the See also:double forms, make admirable specimens for pot culture
.
Named or specially See also:fine varieties are propagated by cuttings taken from stock plants kept through the See also:winter on a dry warm shelf, and moved into a brisk moist See also:heat in See also:early See also:spring; the See also:young shoots are planted in pans or pots filled with sandy See also:soil, and, aided by a brisk bottom heat, strike See also:root in a few days
.
They are then potted singly into thumb-pots, and when once established are gradually hardened off, and afterwards repotted as required
.
The shoots should be topped to make bushy plants, and their tops may be utilized as cuttings
.
The single varieties are raised from seeds sown in See also:light sandy soil in heat, in the early spring, and very slightly covered
.
The plants need to be prickedbut or potted off as soon as large enough to handle
.
