| Petunia 'Pinstripe |
IGC Horticulturist
Seen at the trade show "New England Grows" in Boston in early February: three new "black" petunias from Ball. Look for them in garden centers this summer.
Seems to me, you either love or hate black flowers. At a distance, they visually disappear. But I'm looking forward to combining them in containers with chartreuse, hot pink, and silver!!
Below is a link that reviews the three varieties ('Black Velvet', 'Phantom', and 'Pinstripe'). Note that they may not bloom as well for us as for the horticulturists. And if you look carefully, like many "black" flowers, there's a hint of deep purple.
