The Crazytunia 'Black & White' Petunia, grown with delight right here at D6, is the edgy artist of the petunia family—delivering bold, large trumpet blooms in crisp white petals with dramatic jet-black centers and subtle veining, like a monochrome masterpiece that's impossible to ignore.
Thriving in full sun (6+ hours for maximum wow-factor; partial shade works but expect a slightly shyer bloom show), this semi-upright to semi-trailing beauty matures to 8-16 inches tall and 16-24 inches wide, forming a lush mound perfect for hanging baskets, containers, window boxes, or dramatic landscape spills. Blooms unleash their magic non-stop from late spring through fall, self-cleaning with no deadheading needed—talk about low-effort glamour!
A pollinator favorite, it draws bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to the party with nectar-rich flowers. Far from drought-tolerant (petunias prefer consistent moisture and will dramatically wilt if thirsty—keep that watering can handy during Indiana's hot spells). In zone 6a, this tender annual dazzles all season post-frost planting, handling heat like a champ but demanding regular drinks and fertilizer feeds for peak performance. Who says black and white can't be wildly colorful?
