Frequently Asked Questions
What does F1 mean on Petunia Daddy Mixed seeds?
What does F1 mean on Petunia Daddy Mixed seeds?
F1 indicates a first-generation hybrid produced from selected parent lines. Plants from F1 seed are bred for specific characteristics but may not reproduce those traits consistently from saved seed.

Container plants can dry faster than plants in garden beds, especially during warm weather. Check the growing medium regularly and water when needed rather than following a fixed schedule.
Can Petunia Daddy F1 seeds be saved for identical flowers?

Saved seed from an F1 hybrid may not produce plants identical to the parent because hybrid traits can separate in later generations. Fresh F1 seed is preferable for the intended characteristics.
