Petunia Volunteers?

[KD_Olive]

I walked outside and pulled one..This is how it looks. There are hundreds of them! I will probably hoe them out however if the heat is going to kill them again. Last year, it was very frustrating to watch them wilt despite my best efforts...

Can you pot a few clumps up and keep them on a patio where they would get some sun, but be a little shaded in the afternoon?

That's a great idea, thank you! I had multiple colors and also the Wave variety, so I'm very curious as to what I'll get.. It's funny the Wave petunias were gorgeous the entire Summer and into the Fall.. I may also try to give some away..

I'm loving the forum so far! Thanks everyone for your help!

Well thank you for joining us!

I have had wave petunias reseed pretty readily. Sometimes the color is not the same, but they are still nice vigorous plants. I was wondering if your seedlings could be chickweed, which look a little like petunia seedlings when they are small. But chickweed leaves won't get larger, like petunia leaves will, so you can tell by that, before they bloom.
And Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to TEG, @KD_Olive. Way to jump right in and join the discussions! Glad to have you growing with us.

Thank you both! And I wouldn't be surprised at all if they are weeds, I seem to be excellent at growing plenty of those!

Welcome, KD_Olive! I must have missed your intro thread earlier.

@KD_Olive
I thought weed at 1st. But with fingers crossed I am hoping you have petunias.

Weeds in my garden always look like the healthest plants there
