It's true that the seed is very fine, it needs to be sown in seed compost, just covering the seeds. But the easiest ones are the coated seeds that are available for salads, not many sellers though.

Description
Petunia x hybrida multiflora Purple Pirouette F1, also called Petunia 'Pirouette Double Purple' features large, fully double flowers, among the most original of the genus, bloom from June to frost on robust plants. This annual plant offers an abundance of fragrant, contrasting flowers in dark purple or red, with frizzy petals and wide white margins. They are a dazzling addition to any garden and are positively adorable in flowerbeds, borders and big pots. Sow under glass at room temperature.
Hybrid petunias are all derived from several plants originating from the warmer regions of South America. Petunia belongs to the Solanaceae family and is close to ornamental tobacco for example. Its foliage also contains alkaloids. The F1 hybrid 'Purple Pirouette' forms a dense, flared clump with a fairly rounded growth habit, that reaches 35 cm in height and 30 cm in diameter in record time. The plant is in bloom from June to October, provided that the wilted flowers are regularly removed and that fertilizer is regularly applied. Its cupped flowers are astonishing, fully double, scented and medium-sized. They come in contrasting colours: dark purple, dark red or deep pink with wide white margins. The edge of the petals are very ruffled and the centre of the flower is imperceptible. The vigorous and healthy foliage is fairly pubescent and features entire margins and a fresh green hue.
Since more than a century, no other flowering annual has been the subject of such advanced selection by plant breeders. The results, such as demonstrated by the Purple Pirouette variety, are impressive since the splendour of their blooms and length of their flowering period rival those of pelargoniums. Plant them in large pots or in hanging baskets. You can also plant them in flowerbeds to punctuate borders with plants featuring grey foliage, such as mouse-ears, silver ragwort or sagebrush.
Warning: seeds are best meant for very experienced gardeners who are used to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust and are hardly visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow petunia seeds from late winter to mid-spring in a seed tray at 21-27 °C. Spread the seeds on the surface of a good quality, special seed starting mix, enriched with well-rotted compost. You can mix the seeds with sand or light soil to help you sow thinly. Do not cover the seeds but press them gently into the growing medium so that the seeds adhere to the surface. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Keep in well-lit conditions, in a transparent, waterproof plastic bag. Germination usually takes 10 to 21 days. When the seedlings are large enough to be handled, plant them out in pots and let them grow in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days and then, when all risk of frost has passed, plant the seedlings outdoors, in a sunny spot sheltered from strong winds, in well-drained soil. For cultivation in pots, prick the seedlings out into 7.5 cm diameter pots and place them in a cool, well-ventilated spot in a bright position, without direct sunlight.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
