I have this perennial in my urban terrace garden in New York City and have featured it in a few of my blog posts including one which you may refer to by going to this link:<br />http://thelastleafgardener.blogspot.com/2011/05/monday-morning-musings-challenging.htmlThe Last Leaf Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911264708148372608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-10366165813468175022011-07-24T22:49:29.683-05:002011-07-24T22:49:29.683-05:00They're gorgeous!

It was a pretty cool plant, but I wish it would stay truly black. I tend not to get many petunias anymore, because they don't tend to look very good if you slip on the watering, even once...not very forgiving in the looks department.GardenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583373530917618835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-74864910946095922222011-07-23T14:31:41.402-05:002011-07-23T14:31:41.402-05:00It's like black velvet - very pretty!

They put me in a situation where I don't know what to pair them with to best advantage. I have a very dark daylily and even though it looks mysterious I am on a mission to put it with another daylily that is complimentary.<br /><br />Your oranges look great with Black Cat which I did see in the Burpee catalog this year. I know I could do something with this color in my fall containers.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-1677607245266343642011-07-22T14:35:14.625-05:002011-07-22T14:35:14.625-05:00Very striking!
