Petunia

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

A genus of plants of the nightshade family, which are native to the warmer parts of America. The leaves are entire, and somewhat resemble those of tobacco, especially in having a sticky surface and in emitting a disagreeable odor when crushed. The plants are perennial herbs, and the flowers are either single or double. They are cultivated extensively in gardens and in greenhouses, where they are grown chiefly as annual plants, since they bloom early.
