The perfect gift for a goth

Just the ticket for my hypothetical black-and-blue garden, horticulturists have developed the world's first black petunia.

British is best!*

The dramatic new flowers, named Black Velvet, were developed using natural breeding techniques to turn them a dark black colour. The rare plants, which have taken four years to perfect, are due to blossom in British gardens for the first time next spring.

* I used to believe this, btw.
