I don’t know if anybody could help me in this group or not I have a question I have a petunia that I started from seed this past spring and it did not flower at all my question should I strip the seeds from the stem? Will it come back next year?

This was the first year that I started petunias from a seed usually I buy them out of a greenhouse that’s already bloomed

I live in Maine and we had a wet spring but a drought during the summer months I was using the guidelines at Planta had for watering fertilizer etc.

Thank you in advance
