Petunia Sweetunia® Fiona Flash

Petunia Sweetunia® Fiona Flash, like most cultivated petunias, is a hybrid. This means it doesn’t have a single “native region” in the traditional sense. However, we can trace its ancestry to understand its origins:

* **Genus Petunia Origin:** The genus *Petunia* is native to South America, specifically regions within Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Paraguay.

* **Hybrid Origin:** Modern petunias, including the Sweetunia series, are the result of extensive hybridization and breeding programs. This means the specific variety, Fiona Flash, was created in a nursery or breeding facility, likely in Europe, North America, or Japan where many of these programs are based.

**Therefore, the *likely* geographical origin of the ‘Fiona Flash’ cultivar itself is not South America, but a developed region with active horticultural breeding programs like:**

* **Europe**
* **North America**
* **Japan**

It is impossible to be more specific without knowing the exact breeder or company that developed this cultivar. However, the parental species have South American roots.
