Hi John

We always go with Petunia's in our hanging baskets.

My view is that you maybe a little late. We tried sowing our own last year and bought seeds from a recognised supplier. They were sown early and brought on in a green house. I have to say they were very dissapointing and have reverted back to buying trays of plants from out local independent nursery.
