It doesnt matter what spray I use, the aphids eat the petunias anyways, and im left sad and desolate by fall... *sigh*

Do you make sure to reapply after it rains? I use Natria insecticidal soap , extremely effective. You want to try to remove anything visible, then soak the affected areas.

Edit : Should keep the bees happy.
