Once I spurned petunias as too ordinary. But these girls just keep on keeping on, adding their sweet fragrance to evening on the porch. Hummers and bees like them too.
Petunias originated in South America and are part of the nightshade family--along with tomatoes and tobacco.
There's more about their history HERE.

Do you grow them from seed or nursery plants?
We didn't plant containers this year, but the petunias came back regardless.
They're tender perennials and do come back in places with mild winters. But I would expect freezes to kill the roots where Vicki lives.
