English name:petunia

Latin name:Petumia hybrida

Care of petunias includes regular watering and as much sunlight as possible to promote multiple blooms. While petunias will grow in a partially shaded location, a fuller and more abundant bloom is produced in full sun. Soil prepared before planting petunias should have well-composted organic matter worked in.Proper light, water and fertilization when caring for petunias will ensure a long season of beautiful blooms.
