Are petunias sterile

Petunias are not sterile; they are capable of producing seeds. However, many hybrid varieties of petunias are bred for their desirable traits and may not produce viable seeds, which can create the impression of sterility. Additionally, some petunia cultivars are designed to be self-cleaning, meaning they drop their spent flowers without setting seed. Overall, while petunias can reproduce, certain hybrids may not contribute to seed production.
