The Petunia I didn't buy

Ahh! The black petunia. Black Velvet to be exact. I like it, but you'd think black being a neutral color, it would go anywhere and with anything. But I really don't have a place to put it, so I'm not buying it--- this year. I am curious to see if it would come true from its own seed, but F1 hybrids rarely do. Petunias used to be reliably cheap until the hybrids like "The Wave " petunia arrived. Heirloom petunias will reseed and come back year after year if a happy place is found, although, not as spectacular, still elegant.
