Powdery Mildew is a common fungal problem found on a number plants.

The fungus is cosmopolitan and found where ever conditions are favourable for development: damp foilage, poor air circulation, soft tissue or plants under stress. Development of the fungus can be prevented by remedial action to the above conditions or by applying a suitable fungicide. Normally copper-based fungicides are used for grapes.

What is the powder on a petunia?

It sounds like your petunias have a fungal infection called powdery mildew. It is spread by pathogens on the wind but rarely leads to death. The best thing to is to remove the infected parts and water the plants all over to wash of the spores. The only preventative care is to maintain a healthy plant that can resist infection. But before you take action, I suggest you do some research into powdery mildew on petunias to double check what it is.
