What I find interesting is all the blossoms fall at the same time. Then tomorrow they're back in bloom. I have to plant them in a "gated community" because our Key Deer love them. Bet they taste yummy. No I haven't tried.

This is an incredibly invasive species in Florida that does not actually provide much nectar or pollen to butterflies and bees. You are better off finding a native petunia for your region.

I agree that they are invasive. But they ain't going anywhere. LOL
Hummingbirds like them.
Once they are on the ground, you will never be able to get rid of it. 
How do you go about doing that, finding native petunias? Last year I had a really beautiful insect that was attracted to my petunias, this year no. In the midwest though.
@Flowerwall do a google search for a local native plant society and or contact you your local agricultural extension office.
Love the color of these flowers! Very pretty garden.
