Description

Petunia (Petunia × hybrida) captivates with its profusion of trumpet-shaped blooms in an endless palette—from crisp whites and soft pastels to bold reds and purples. These sun-loving annuals flourish in rich, well-drained soil under at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Water thoroughly, then let the top layer of soil dry slightly before the next drink; feed biweekly with a balanced fertilizer to sustain abundant blooms. Pinch back leggy growth occasionally to encourage bushier, more floriferous plants. Display petunias in hanging baskets and window boxes for cascading color or group them in garden beds for a vibrant summer tapestry.
