TIME Magazine Honors the Light Bio Firefly Petunia

Jeff Wilser, TIME Magazine Floral November 12, 2024

By day, the petunias look like normal white flowers. In the evening, they emanate a soft glow that looks like moonlight. It feels like magic but is rooted in science: The startup Light Bio spliced the petunia’s DNA with that of bioluminescent mushrooms, creating the soothing glow-in-the-dark wonder. (The plants are commercially available via Light Bio’s website, but are sold seasonally; the company is taking pre-orders for spring 2025 delivery.)
