Black Ray Petunia (Petunia hybrid 'Black Ray') is one of the darkest, most dramatically beautiful petunias available — producing velvety, near-black blooms of such extraordinary depth and intensity that they appear to absorb light rather than reflect it. A true collector's variety, Black Ray brings a sophisticated, moody elegance to containers, hanging baskets, and mixed border plantings, creating a bold dark anchor that makes every surrounding color pop with heightened brilliance and contrast.

Grown from professional-grade nursery stock, Black Ray arrives with a healthy, well-established root system ready to establish quickly and produce its extraordinary dark blooms continuously from spring through fall frost. For gardeners drawn to the avant-garde and unconventional, Black Ray is an irreplaceable dark jewel in the summer garden — breathtaking alongside hot pinks, vivid oranges, electric yellows, and crisp whites that sing against its near-black velvety backdrop.

  • Extraordinary Near-Black Velvety Blooms: Deeply saturated, near-black flowers with a rich velvety texture create a dramatic, moody floral presence of extraordinary depth and intensity — a true dark jewel in the garden that elevates every surrounding color and creates unforgettable high-contrast combinations.
  • Sophisticated Dark Anchor for Mixed Designs: The near-black blooms serve as a powerful visual anchor in mixed container arrangements and border plantings, making every surrounding flower color appear more vivid, saturated, and brilliant by contrast — an essential tool for creating sophisticated, high-impact garden compositions.
  • Collector's Variety Rarity & Appeal: A true collector's petunia, Black Ray is sought after by gardeners who appreciate the extraordinary and unconventional — its near-black color is genuinely rare in the petunia world and immediately distinguishes any planting it inhabits from the ordinary.
  • Mounding & Spreading Container Habit: A naturally full, mounding habit with spreading stems fills containers generously and cascades attractively over edges, making Black Ray an ideal dramatic thriller or dark spiller in mixed patio arrangements, window boxes, and hanging baskets.
  • Professional Grade Root System: This plant arrives with a healthy, well-developed root system that establishes quickly and delivers reliable, prolific near-black bloom production throughout the entire warm growing season.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun with regular, moderate watering and good drainage. As a tender perennial grown as a warm-season annual, Black Ray performs best when planted after the last frost date and blooms continuously until frost. Regular feeding with a balanced, bloom-boosting fertilizer maintains vigorous growth and the extraordinary depth and intensity of the near-black bloom color throughout the season. Mature height reaches 10–14 inches with a spread of 16–22 inches. Occasional light trimming encourages fresh branching and sustained flowering through the growing season.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
