Petunias are versatile, vibrant flowering plants known for their prolific trumpet-shaped blooms. Native to South America,
- Foliage: The leaves are typically oval, bright green, and covered in fine, sticky glandular hairs.

Growth and Care
- Lifespan: While technically tender perennials in warm climates (Zones 9–11), they are most often grown as annuals in temperate regions.
- Sunlight: They require full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily) to bloom profusely; shade leads to spindly, “leggy” growth with fewer flowers.
- Soil and Water: They thrive in fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering is necessary, especially for container-grown plants which may need daily attention during peak summer.
- Maintenance: “Deadheading” (removing spent blooms) and occasional pruning help maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continuous blooming until the first frost.
