Petunias originated in South America, specifically in regions that are now part of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. They were first discovered by European botanists in the late 18th century. The plants were later cultivated and hybridized, leading to the diverse varieties we see today in gardens and landscapes around the world.
