Where can I buy seeds for blue petunias, that are actually blue and not lavender or purple?

Color is in the eye of the beholder, but try these two -- the first is one I think is more blue than purple, the second is LOTS of them, with photos, so you can see if any of them match your needs. Good luck!

As the first poster said, color is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Below are 2 additional sources. Burpee is a well-known seed provider and they offer a sky-blue petunia. Swallowtail Garden's is more of a midnight blue.
Reply:Blue petunias are produced by a very complex process involving the addition of genes from other plants. The resulting seeds are expensive, patented and marketed to growers who grow special plants like Proven Winners to gardeners. I can almost guarentee you that most of the seed you can buy for blue petunias in catalogues will be a disappointment for you.
