The Petunia Headliner Night Sky, grown with starry-eyed wonder right, is the cosmic sensation that's out of this world—literally. Each velvety trumpet bloom is a miniature galaxy: deep royal purple petals splashed with irregular white speckles that mimic a glittering starry sky, no two flowers exactly alike. Cooler nights intensify the white "stars," while warmer days bring out more purple nebula-like depth, creating an ever-changing celestial display that has customers gasping and snapping photos all season.
These mesmerizing blooms appear relentlessly from late spring through fall, covering the plant in a profusion of otherworldly color that's pure magic in containers, hanging baskets, or window boxes. Thriving in full sun (partial shade reduces the stellar show), it forms a mounded, semi-trailing habit reaching 10-16 inches tall and 20-30 inches wide.
Pollinator-friendly butterflies and hummingbirds can't resist the nectar-rich trumpets, buzzing in like shooting stars. Far from drought-tolerant, petunias prefer consistent moisture—forget a watering, and it'll wilt like a dramatic meteor shower to get your attention. In zone 6a Indiana, this tender annual delivers breathtaking galactic glamour from post-frost planting until autumn's chill. Who needs a telescope when you've got this sky in your garden?
