Petunia

Petunia is a richly flowering, gorgeous, cup-shaped annual that produces many flowers. Petunia is native to South America namely Argentina and Brazil, where this exuberantly coloured and flowering plant is found in the wild. Petunia is also called ‘the jewel of summer’. These plants are great for growing in flower pots, window boxes, containers, hanging baskets and balcony boxes. If the spent flowers are removed regularly, Petunia can continue flowering from June to October. In short, with a little maintenance and effort, Petunia provides an exuberant sea of flowers all summer long. This cheerful, bright mixture of large cup-shaped plants brighten up any pot, container, wall and dull spot in the garden. Petunia is much loved by bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. Petunia blooms from June to October. Non hardy annual.
