I love plants and gardening! I'm working on turning my black thumb to green. Hopefully this app can help. I'm in USDA Zone 8A.

5/14/2019 This is kind of fun! The flowers on the right are getting morning sun with shade in the afternoons. The ones on the right with more white are getting more direct sun throughout the day. I'm hoping to plant them in the ground sometime soon or somewhere that allows them a bit of full sun/partial shade. They get more intense "constellations" of white based on the best they are receiving! #nightskypetunia

4/19/2019 Finally got in some #nightskypetunia and got to plant them. I'm testing how they do in a pot versus the ground. I have another two I hope to plant in the ground once the plant murdering dog we're watching goes back to his owner.

I grew them last season in pots and they were spectacular. #petunia-nightsky

@Annettenoosa I received them in a pot in early October and then they seemed to die off when winter came, possibly I drowned them. Unsure. I'm hoping to keep these alive for a while! And the ones I intend to plant in the ground! They're so beautiful!

@leeloodallas Petunias are an annual plant and will die in cold N.Hemisphere winter. Plant new seeds (or buy seedlings) in Spring for summer blooms. Opposite for me here in subtropics with warm winter. Mine bloom from late autumn, through winter and die off in the hot spring/summer.

@Annettenoosa That'll explain it! I thought I had read they could survive here if brought inside for the cold but maybe not. They're so pretty! Thanks!

12/15/2018 This is the last picture of the #nightskypetunia for a while. She appeared to be going dormant so I trimmed back her branches. Hopefully she'll come back and flourish in thr Spring.

11/6/2018 I was worried it was maybe dying from being over watered but I think it was just a slight shock from re-potting. I really like this plant. #nightskypetunia

The first flowers the boyfriend got me are so pretty! The cool nights and days we've had have really brought out the constellation coloring for the flowers and I love it! #nightskypetunia

We've had a series of cold, rainy days for almost two or so weeks now. While I wasn't a fan of the weather, my Night Sky Petunia loved it, at least in regards to looking even more like constellations/freckles! I love it! #nightskypetunia #purpleplants
