Looking to marvel at distant galaxies but lacking a powerful telescope? Don’t fret, because we have the ideal solution. All you need to do is acquire some Night Sky Petunias, as their petals resemble hidden miniature universes.
Scientifically known as Petunia cultivars, Night Sky Petunias are deep purple flowers distinguished by their unique petal patterns. True to their name, these captivating plants bloom to reveal an array of white stars resembling clusters of galaxies. The ethereal patterns emerge due to temperature variations between day and night. If you decide to cultivate them yourself, it’s recommended to provide warmth during the day (around 100°F) and coolness at night (approximately 50°F) to achieve the most spectacular results. Want to nurture your own personal galaxy within the cozy confines of your home? Head over to Amazon and grab a packet of Night Sky Petunia seeds.
