Petunia frustration.
By Denza
United Kingdom 
I have just bought some Ebony Petunias, and i was wondering, is it possible to get seeds or cuttings off such flowers, i have the Phantom, and Black Velvet, also the Purple Pin Stipe, is this possible in any way. Or is this against the law to do so, i don"t know. They are all NEW plants that are avialable now.So if someone can help me with this question i would be very greatfull, thankyou.

Some petunias do set seed - when the flowers have dropped you can pinch out the seeds at the base of whats left (you have to let the seed pod go brown) but I don't think the hybrids will set seed.

Most likely these new varieties are sterile, so won't produce seed. You can try cuttings if you want, as the others say.

I think you are not allowed to sell cuttings etc but I wouldn't worry about reproducing them for use in your own garden. Don't remeember seeing petunias set seed actually, but if they did they would be unlikely to come true.
