The garden petunia is an ornamental plant native to South America that became one of the most important summer flowers in Europe in the 19th century. It is distinguished by its extremely abundant flowering and wide variety of colors.
In manor gardens, petunias are planted in representative summer flower beds and decorative beds.
They quickly became popular in rural homes due to their bright flowers and long flowering period. They were often grown near houses, on windowsills, or in hanging pots.
In urban areas, petunias have become one of the most common flowers on balconies and in city flower beds.
Today, they remain one of the most popular ornamental annual flowers in the world.
