I knew its name had something in front of 'Picasso' but couldn't think what it was and was too lazy to look it up. Thanks for reminding me. You know, I love that green edging on the blossoms, too, but there's a story behind that. This is the first year I've had this petunia in my garden, because it's also the first year one of the local nurseries have carried it. I bought six of them earlier in the spring and they've done exceptionally well, so when I revisited the nursery last weekend I told the owner I was loving them. She asked "Really?" and seemed a little surprised. When I asked her why, she said she loved the photo of Picasso when she saw it in the wholesaler's catalog, and because of that she decided to stock an enormous display of them. But then when they arrived she said she was disappointed by the way the green edging made the flowers blend in so much with the leaves that they lost their definition. I told her I had noticed that same effect, but didn't mind it. To the contrary, I liked these plants because they began spreading out immediately, and by the end of the summer I suspect that they're going to look like sea monsters in my garden!
