Abstract

Petunias have become one of the most popular flowering annual garden plants. They are relatively free from insect and disease problems, have a long flowering period, are easy to grow, and are available in a wide range of form and color. The petunia has come a long way from its native Argentina. From the original white and magenta species, hybridizers have developed petunias in every color except a pure, bright yellow, and they are coming closer to that every year. From the simple single flower, they have developed large, ruffled, fringed and double forms.
