Bring a little magic to your fall assortment with the glowing appeal of Firefly Petunias. These unique varieties create the perfect moonlit display. By day, these plants have abundant white blooms; by night, they transform your space into a glowing sanctuary. Because the light is powered entirely by the plant's own metabolism, there are no wires, batteries, or sprays, just pure, living energy. For best viewing, observe at night in dark conditions after your eyes have adjusted to the dark. These petunias are at their best when planted in small pots and containers and grow 8-10” in size.

Tips for Growing Firefly Petunias:

• 6-8 Hours of sunlight supports growth to help enhance their bioluminescence. They can tolerate partial shade but the bioluminescence may be reduced.

• Plant in sheltered spots and shield from strong wing. Planting in a pot that can be moved is best.

• Plant in well draining soil that is moist but not overwatered. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering. Neutral to slightly acidic pH is best.

• Fertilize every 1-2 weeks

• Regularly deadhead the blooms. New flower buds and stems emit the most intense light.

• Monitor for common pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Fungal diseases can be a problem in overly wet or humid conditions; ensure good air circulation around the plants and avoid overhead watering.
