Natura Gardens is thrilled to present the Firefly Petunia, the first glow-in-the-dark plant available for purchase. This year marks the inaugural availability of this remarkable plant species in the market.
They really glow in the dark!
Get in on the biggest plant innovation seen in years!
Have you ever imagined what living in an alternate world might be like? Firefly petunias transport you to this world in your own backyard where whimsy and fantasy take hold. In the daytime flowers are brilliant white, come dusk, flowers and foliage emit a mystic glow, reminding one of the light from a full moon.
This is the first commercially available glowing plant and was showcased in Time Magazine as a Time Best Invention 2024. Producers of Firefly Petunias have chosen a select few greenhouses to showcase these plants, and we have been lucky enough to have a limited supply to share with you. As we understand, this plant will not be available through any big box stores and is being marketed by the inventor as a boutique garden center item.

Care:
Firefly petunia care is similar to a regular petunia.
- Plants require at least 6-8 hours of sun for optimum flower production.
- Routine feeding of every 7-9 days is necessary to maintain flowering and produce a stronger glow, these plants are considered heavy feeders.
- Watering must be consistent; plants do not like to dry out nor be waterlogged.
- Plants need to be routinely deadheaded to encourage flower production.
- No special plant food or light is necessary to grow these plants. We recommend Nutriculture fertilizer which we sell in our store but other fertilizers made for gardens and containers will work fine as well.
