Quite a Few Petunias

Some friends and I visited an out of state garden center. The wife was impressed with the Night Sky Petunia which is speckled with white.
Hi, Mr. Ferdinand, I planted my first petunias in spring (2020) and I can't say that I had the best success with them, but I'll keep trying (Atch 1). Since your initial post in Feb 2020, I've been looking for the beautiful array of Petunias and Millions Bells you shared with the forum. Previously, I'd visited a number of nurseries here in Korea, but had only seen the usual solid colors mainly "Fushia". This year (to my surprise) I came across a burgundy petunia with yellow stripes (Atch 2) --a slighly different pattern in Fushia (Atch 3).
I grabbed a bunch of them because I was certain they would sell out. I'm hoping I can get them to the point of being lush and cascading over the hanging baskets they're in. Any tips you can share would be greatly appreciated.

sometime I pant them in my containers. this year I did white trailing ones with a dark purple vine combo. Pretty decent. Have a nice garden place not far that carries awesome plants for container creativity in the spring.
Petunias showing vein detail
This is NOT a Petunia! This is a beautiful evergreen shrub, the Cape Leadwort (Plumbago auriculata 'Imperial Blue' or a similar cultivar).
It is native to South Africa and is in the Plumbago Family (Plumbaginaceae), the same family as Statice or Sea-lavender (Limonium spp.) and Thrift or Sea-pinks (Armeria spp.), among others.

Petunia x 'Dcaspitaya'. Thanks to marketing nonsense, it is better known as Supertunia® Picasso in Purple®
Actually there is a remarkably similar cultivar: Petunia x ‘BHTUN31501’ which is/was marketed as Supertunia® Pretty Much Picasso® It has less purple veining than 'Dcapitaya'. The two cultivars were bred by different breeders and both have U.S, Plant Patent numbers: 27,999 & 21,649 respectively. However, they are both produced and marketed in Proven Winners' Supertunia line.

True as night sky. Looks like purple outerspace with twinkling stars surrounded.
Aww! Those petal veins
