I just have a few words of encouragement. This is a petunia. These are petunia seeds that I got. See how tiny and look how many there are! And on the plant I counted over three hundred flowers just in one day! And if it's producing this many seeds, I've never seen this many seeds germinate and grow into a new plant. So if mother nature's not perfect you don't have to be either. If you fail at your one plant don't worry about it just start over, try a different way. This is my plant, I've grown this, I'm not perfect either, and I'm the expert. So keep trying. You know, it just might be the wrong time of year, or the wrong if the plant is in flower or just a different method might be needed to be used.
