Petunias tend to tolerate frost very well. It's one annual I usually do in winter. I'm just slow this year. And petunias are slow growers, especially outside.
Also, these were just a few pelleted seeds (shock wave) left from last year. Other wintersowers have told me that pelleted seeds tend to rot if put out in cold wet soil. I've not seen that but others have. But pellets do tend to sprout more slowly and I have had large seeds, like 4 o'clocks rot in the cold wet soil when sown too early.
We seem to be out of the deep freeze at long last (temps in the forecast in the 50s!) but rain most of the week.
