What time of year do you cut back petunias so that they will grow back fuller in future years?

Petunias are annuals. They are planted every spring, flower through the summer and begin to die off as the weather gets colder. In some areas, they might seed in a few places, but to get a brilliant petunia bed, you must replant each year.

Cut petunias back in the summer towards the middle of their season, when the branches grow longer and you can see where the older flowers were.

The best time of year to cut petunias depends on the weather you're in. If your petunia blooms year round, you can dead head them anytime or as needed.

You cut back petunias when they have long shoots with few blossoms. That keeps them looking full and healthy. Cut off about 4-5 inches. I start cutting a few shoots at the time so that there will always be blooms. Still, petunias are an annual plant.
