ELI5 Mode🧒
Petunias are vibrant flowering plants in the Solanaceae family, prized for their trumpet-shaped blooms that come in a rainbow of colors and add cheerful pops to gardens and pots. Originally native to South America, they have become a staple in modern horticulture for their adaptability and long blooming season, though they require regular deadheading to encourage more flowers.

Petunias can produce up to 100 flowers per plant in a single growing season, and some hybrid varieties have been engineered to glow under black light, thanks to genes from jellyfish—first achieved in lab experiments in the 1990s by scientists at the University of California.
