Amia Seeds - Petunia

Petunias (Petunia × hybrida) are among the most popular annual flowers for balconies and gardens, with brightly coloured funnel-shaped blooms. They flower abundantly and continuously from spring to autumn, in shades of pink, purple, red, white or bicolour. The plant prefers full sun, fertile soils and regular watering, and is ideal for window boxes and pots. The fragrant flowers attract pollinators and the range of colours is impressive. Petunias are the classic choice for a balcony in bloom all season long.
