I have bought two plants of the above petunia.
It is really a true black flower which I haven’t seen before.
Hope you like it. It will look stunning with red or yellow contrasting plants.
Hope you like them.

I have these in manger baskets ... very dramatic colour!

Very dramatic, should make an interesting addition to a mixed planting arrangement.

These are good, but quite hard to find - be prepared for the possibility of colour breaks to occur in the later flowers, often yellow patches or streaks appearing. Makes them particularly interesting as they go on...

Just found the label for mine: Sweetunia 'Black Satin' - it will be interesting to see if the colour breaks!

Must admit I fancy something really dark this year.

I have these and the black tulips! Love dark colours!!

They are lovely, very unusual and will make a striking contrast with so many things.

These would be great paired up with black pansies.

I really like black flowers, they are such a fantastic counterfoil to many of my favourite colours. Can't wait till my black hollyhocks flower for the first time this year. Hope rust and black go together ?

It is a beauty. I just stumbled upon almost black coleus which i will try with my pots. It is Zone 5 so will not be hardy for VT. But could not resist. And also there is a black leafed cranesbill, also zone 5. Probably would work for slightly warmer locations. Red would be stunning...
