  Turns out the foliage of this pretty plant is toxic       
  when fed to tobacco hornworm, the Colorado potato         
  beetle and some caterpillars. You can try spraying a       
  petunia-leaf tea solution on your plants if you are       
  suffering an infestation. The researches at the USDA's    
  Western Regional Center in Albany CA found that           
  petunia leaves were enticing to the pests that they       
  killed do your spray may bring pest to a central         
  location and then shut them down.
