A colourful annual (7)

I believe the answer is:

petunia

(Other definitions for petunia that I've seen before include "Bloomer" , "Common garden plant" , "Garden plant with large funnel-shaped flower" , "Flowering plant" , "Garden plant, originally from S. America" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
