Petunias are known for their trumpet-shaped flowers and vibrant colors ranging from light pink and magenta to pale blue and rich purple, deep.
Petunias grow in pots, pots hanging on the bed and some varieties are used as ground cover.

Petunias we now know, however, are far from the first time in the gardens of the 19th century, although all are based primarily on two species were discovered in South America in mid-1700 and early 1800: Petunia Flower axillaris Petunia violacea flowers white and violet.
Introduced in Europe in 1800, these species have not been spectacular garden flowers - flowers that were thin and small - but even then farmers, particularly in Germany and England, started the crusade in search of larger flowers and more colors.
The result was the garden petunia - a group of plants with exciting colors, some with large double flowers, sometimes with other simple flowers fringes.

To avoid watering the soil at the bottom, not on top of plants, do not crowd the plants together, make sure they have good air circulation around them.
The plants in the garden can be disturbed by whiteflies and aphids, which can eat holes in leaves.
The former is more a nuisance than a threat terrible.

The plants appear in the dumps after a hard rain the latest varieties of all classes, but especially floribundas, dissemination and multifloras, to pick up a couple of hours.
