The Firefly Petunia emits a soft glow similar to moonlight. It can be grown in pots and baskets, quickly attaining about 8 to 10 inches in size with abundant white flowers. Although typically regarded as an annual, Firefly Petunia can be grown indoors if placed in a sunny spot. They flourish under long summer days, preferring at least six hours of direct sunlight. The Firefly Petunia’s unique glow is most visible in fully dark environments. Nighttime light interference from street lights, porch lights, or other light sources will affect the visibility of Firefly Petunia’s natural glow.
