Is it possible that they need more fertilizer? I only water them when I see that the top of the soil is dry-ish, and they are in planters that hang on a wall, they face south. I live in Las Vegas, zone 9.
I’ve never seen this before, just wondering what I can do to have them blooming brightly again.
There are petunias which have multiple marks on the leaves. I do not see anything wrong with these.
Hello. That is the type of Petunia. They are just fine. Sometimes nursery's mix a few different colors in one basket for contrast.
There are variegated petunias mixed in
I believe that's just the variety of petunia. And it is beautiful!
The bright pink petunias are hybrids. As they breed and re-seed themselves, they will eventually turn back to their original color. Here's a link that explains this in more detail:

could it be the hybrid is reverting?
Funny story. I always plant dark purple. I bought 6 flats, planted them all in my annua garden. They grew so nicely, so pretty. Then up popped a pure white one. That petunias for ya. 🤣. Enjoy
