How to Grow
Treat your Firefly Petunia like you would any other annual petunia. Wait until the danger of frost has passed to plant outside – plant your Firefly Petunia once overnight temperatures are consistently above 40 degrees. Full sun conditions of 6 or more hours of sunlight are necessary for both healthy plant growth and bioluminescent performance.
Keep your Firefly Petunia soil evenly moist soil, but not waterlogged. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely.
Firefly Petunias need their nutrients! Fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer like Jack’s Petunia FeED every 1-2 weeks. The bioluminescent properties of the Firefly Petunia perform best with continuous feed of nutrients. Applying Jack’s Petunia FeED at half strength, each time you water will give the Firefly Petunia the feeding regiment it needs to glow best.
While the Firefly Petunia is self-cleaning and doesn’t require deadheading to continue blooming, the plant can be enhanced by regularly removing spent flowers. You may occasionally prune the plant to shape it or encourage bushier growth. This is especially helpful if it starts to look leggy.
Firefly Petunias are protected under patent, and as such, propagation and breeding are not permitted. These petunias are sold exclusively for personal use.
