How To Plant Petunia

Petunia is the name of flowers that grow on the plant of the same name. The trumpet-shaped flowers are believed to have originated in South America, but got their name from French. In most of the gardens, we see Petunia x hybrida variety, thought to be the hybrid between P. axillaris (the large white or night-scented petunia) and P. integrifolia (the violet-flowered petunia). Petunia flowers are amongst those that are easiest to grow, but look extremely beautiful. Many, though not all, of them are also fragrant. Being annuals, they last just one year. Though petunia plants require low-maintenance, there should be provision of full sun and enough water. Read on and get some tips on planting petunia flowers.
