Flowers attract hummingbirds. Petunias are two main types: doubles or singles. Doubles are heavily ruffled, many-petaled flowers resembling carnations; singles are funnel-shaped (either ruffled or smooth edged) with open throats. Both doubles and singles come as grandifloras (very large flowers) or multifloras (smaller flowers, but more of them.) Overall there are some 200 varieties on the market. Petunias are a useful companion for flower and vegetable gardens. They repel Mexican bean beetles, potato bugs, squash bugs and leaf hoppers.
