Petunias are colorful flowers in the Solanaceae family where tomato, potato and tobacco also belong. It has trumpet-shaped flowers that comes in a wide range of colors including pink, white, yellow, red, purple and mixed hues. They look wonderful in hanging baskets and window boxes. Petunias are normally propagated from seed, they are low maintenance and do well with plenty of light and sun.The specie was discovered in South America in the 1820's by explorer James Tweedie. I found these petunias at the garden section of Market! Market! while looking for a cactus specie for a friend who collects cactus.
