Debonair™ Black Cherry - Petunia

Debonair™ Black Cherry is a seed-raised, single multiflora petunia in PanAmerican Seed’s Debonair collection. Its compact upright mound is suited to containers and front-of-bed color, with dark cherry-black blooms that can show wine-red tones. [PanAmerican Seed’s grower guide](https://www.panamseed.com/documents/catalogs/15187_PAS_PIG_2016_Spread_HR.pdf) lists the Debonair class and notes that Black Cherry’s flower color may shift in cool conditions. [The cultivar profile](https://plantlust.com/plants/32196/petunia-debonair-black-cherry/) describes the selection and its dark, wine-toned flowers. ## Flowers and form The collection is classified as single-flowered multiflora Petunia × hybrida. Its mature profile is about 10–15 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, making it useful where a smaller petunia can bring concentrated color without covering nearby plants. Retain the named PAS933537 selection when ordering or labeling. ## Placement Use it in a sunny container, basket, or annual border where the dark blooms contrast with pale flowers or foliage. Petunias generally perform best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil; [Illinois Extension’s petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) provides broad care guidance. ## Maintenance Water regularly so the root zone does not dry completely, especially in containers during warm weather. Pinch lightly late in the season if the plant becomes loose or stretched.
