Struggling Petunias |
|
|
I have a couple of hanging baskets, they have pretty petunias. They have been in shade lately (whoopsie) and now they are very tall and sparse. (I assume from trying to get sun?) I have put them back out in a sunnier location, but how do I get them to fill out? Do I need to clip the tops off, or what? Thanks so much?

RE: Struggling Petunias
Thanks for all of the help! With the suggestions my petunias look great! (Sure would be nice to have some rain in these parts though.)
Thanks again!
RE: Struggling Petunias
Pinch them back pretty far if they are really spindly. Feed them and keep in sunshine. They should come back nicely. Keep watered also.
RE: Struggling Petunias
I often have trouble keeping my petunias looking good. They seem to get spindley after a while. This year, I asked the person at my favorite gardening center what the trick was. She told me petunias love to be fed. She said to feed them miracle gro every time I water them, and to keep them dead headed. So far so good. Hope it helps.

I'd try pinching them back. This will encourage bushy growth.
