Once the first one blooms then many more are soon to follow.

I really like that kit. Just don't let your seed kits sit around, my last Cascading Petunias didn't even germinate.

Added 4ml of nutes. I'm thinking about starting another pod in a gallon jug, Kratky-style.

There are definitely more flowers now. I might clean up some of the foliage.  |

I wanted to collect seeds from these, but petunias don't self-pollinate and it's a bit hard to figure out which plants are which (if I wanted to stay true to color) so I decided not to hand pollinate them.
Here's my self-survey:
Plant Grown: Cascading Petunia
Grow Method: AeroGarden Sprout
Time to Germinate: 13 days
Time to First Flower: 52 days (since germination)
Time to Last Flower: 76 days (since germination)
Plant Spacing: ? per Sprout (one pod, multiple seedlings)
Final Height: 9 inches
Nutrients Used: 12ml of AG nutes
Would I grow these again? Definitely! I wouldn't buy the official pods (since they're expensive compared to DIY pods), but if these were an option for the starter kit of a new AeroGarden, I would consider picking them.
Lessons Learned: Flowers are less work to grow than I expected.
Also, on a side-note, the pump for this is very easy to clean compared to the Harvest pump.

I love the way you got them to mound. Very pretty indeed!

I love the way you got them to mound. Very pretty indeed! Apparently, the trick to that is to forget to thin the seedlings out  |
