Genus of flowering plants
Petunia genus of 20 species[1] of flowering plants of South American origin. The popular flower of the same name derived its epithet from the French, which took the word pétun Tupi–Guarani language . A tender perennial , most of the varieties seen in gardens are hybrids (Petunia × atkinsiana Petunia × hybrida ).
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Petunia is a genus in the family Solanaceae , subfamily Petunioideae . Well known members of Solanaceae in other subfamilies include tobacco (subfamily Nicotianoideae ), and the cape gooseberry , tomato , potato , deadly nightshade and chili pepper (subfamily Solanoideae ).[2] Calibrachoa Petunia ,[3] [4] [5] [6] Petchoa is a hybrid genus derived from crossing Calibrachoa and Petunia .[7]
Species [ edit ]
Species include:[8]
Petunia axillaris
Petunia bajeensis
Petunia bonjardinensis
Petunia exserta
Petunia guarapuavensis
Petunia inflata
Petunia integrifolia
Petunia interior
Petunia ledifolia
Petunia littoralis
Petunia mantiqueirensis
Petunia occidentalis
Petunia patagonica
Petunia reitzii
Petunia riograndensis
Petunia saxicola
Petunia scheideana
Petunia villadiana
Ecology [ edit ]
Petunias are generally insect pollinated, with the exception of P. exserta diploid with 14 chromosomes and are interfertile with other petunia species,[9] [10] Calibrachoa .
The tubular flowers are favoured by some Lepidoptera species, including the Hummingbird hawk moth .[11]
Cultivation [ edit ]
Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates, but not frost. They need at least five hours of sunlight every day and flourish in moist soil and conditions of low atmospheric humidity. They are best grown from seed. Watering once a week should be sufficient in most regions. Hanging baskets and other containers need more frequent watering.[12]
AGM cultivars [ edit ]
The following is a selection of cultivars which have received the Royal Horticultural Society 's Award of Garden Merit :
Conchita Blueberry Frost = 'Conblue'[13]
Conchita Evening Glow = 'Conglow'[14]
Conchita Strawberry Frost = 'Constraw'[15]
NightSky = 'Kleph15313' [16]
'Storm Lavender'[17]
'Storm Pink'[18]
'Storm Salmon'[19]
Surfinia Pink Vein = 'Suntosol'[20]
Surfinia Purple = 'Sunpurple'[21]
Tumbelina Priscilla = 'Kerpril'[22]
Many species other than Petunia × atkinsiana [23] Petunia × atkinsiana [3]
Genetically engineered bioluminescent Petunia hybrida was approved for sales by USDA in 2023.[24] [25]
Symbolism and folklore [ edit ]
The Maya and Inca believed that the scent of petunias had the power to ward off underworld monsters and spirits. Their flower-buds were bunched together for magical drinks.[citation needed
