Firefly Petunia – 4″ pot (pick up Spring 2025)

Original price was: $39.99.Current price is: $29.99.

By day, the Firefly Petunia performs as any annual petunia would – reliably producing white flowers on a compact plant which can reach 8-10 inches in size. But in the dark is where the magic happens. The Firefly Petunia’s soft, moon-like glow will emanate from actively growing flowers and foliage alike. The plant glows anywhere it is actively growing, glowing brightest from newly emerging flower buds. The glow from the flowers will gradually soften as the bloom matures. The Firefly Petunia can tolerate partial shade but its bioluminescence may be reduced.

It can be grown in pots, baskets, or gardens, quickly attaining about 8 to 10 inches in size with abundant white flowers. This plant is easy to care for, thriving without needing special conditions or treatments. Although typically regarded as annuals, petunias can be grown indoors if placed in a sunny spot. They flourish under long summer days, preferring at least six hours of direct sunlight. Promoting vigorous growth with frequent fertilization will produce a brighter glow.

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.

This plant can only be preordered for pickup at our retail store located in Kalamazoo, MI in spring 2025. We will have limited quantities and shipping is not available.
