Petunias belong to the Plantae kingdom and are a genus of flowering plants.
Petunias are not considered edible and should not be consumed as they can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested.
Aphids, budworms, cutworms, earwigs, flea beetles, hornworms, leafminers, mites, spider mites, and thrips are bugs that eat petunias. The word bug either loosely designates certain arthropods (arachnids, insects, myriapods, terrestrial crabs, woodlice) or strictly references insect members of the Coleoptera order. The above-mentioned examples fit into the more liberal meaning since many animals -- including deer, rabbits, and slugs -- and pathogens -- blights, rots, viruses, and wilts -- enjoy ravaging external and internal petunia plant parts.
Petunias came from South America. From there gardeners have taken them all over the world.
