All petunias are sticky. It is their defence mechanism. If the leaves are also going yellow it might be aphids.

The usual culprit is 'aphids' but I may be wrong.

I agree with divebuddy. i grow petunias every year and the leaves and flowers are always sticky - they grow beautifully throughout the summer.

Agree with divebuddy. The last thing you want to do is hose them down....petunia flowers hate water on them.

PS.....wish i could have "self wardrobes" watering my Petunias.....LOL
