Here's a general guidance on growing Petunias, and you can apply these principles to the specific variety you have:

**Petunia Care:**

**1. Planting Time:**
- Petunias are typically grown as annuals. Plant them in the spring after the last frost date has passed.

**2. Location:**
- Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Petunias thrive in well-lit areas.

**3. Soil:**
- Use well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Petunias prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.

**4. Planting:**
- Space the plants according to the recommendations on the seed packet or plant tag. Proper spacing ensures good air circulation.

**5. Watering:**
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to prevent fungal issues. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.

**6. Fertilization:**
- Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Follow the package instructions for application rates.

**7. Deadheading:**
- Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. This also helps the plant redirect energy to produce new flowers.

**8. Pruning:**
- Petunias can benefit from occasional pruning to maintain a compact and bushy shape. Pinch back the tips of the branches to encourage branching.

**9. Mulching:**
- Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

**10. Disease Prevention:**
- Provide good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Space plants appropriately.

**11. Winter Care:**
- Petunias are sensitive to frost. In colder climates, they are usually treated as annuals. Consider replanting in the next growing season.
