Black Petunia 25 Seeds

Black petunias are truly dramatic garden showstoppers, prized for their deep, near-black blooms with a rich, velvety finish. The flowers appear almost black in most light, sometimes revealing subtle undertones of deep plum or burgundy. They create striking contrast in containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds, pairing beautifully with bright or pastel companions.

Plants are compact to moderately spreading, producing an abundance of large trumpet-shaped blooms throughout the growing season. Like other petunias, black varieties are easy to grow and reward regular care with continuous flowering from late spring until frost.

Highlights

·       Rare, near-black flowers

·       Excellent for containers, baskets, and borders

·       Long blooming season

·       Strong visual contrast in mixed plantings

Planting Instructions

Indoor Sowing:

• Start seeds 10–14 weeks before last frost
• Surface sow — do not cover seeds, as light is required for germination
• Gently press seeds into moist seed-starting mix
• Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy)
• Maintain warmth (21–24 °C)
• Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days
• Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and plants are hardened off

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for best flowering (tolerates light shade)
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil
• Water: Regular watering; containers may need frequent watering in hot weather
• Spacing: 10–12 inches apart
• Height: 8–12 inches (may trail slightly depending on growing conditions)
• Maintenance: Pinch back lightly to encourage bushier growth; remove spent blooms to keep plants tidy
• Hardiness: Tender annual — grown for one season in Canadian climates

A bold and elegant choice for gardeners looking to add something unique and unforgettable to their summer displays.
