black velvet vs. bullseye pela. geraniums

I have been growing Bullseye Geraniums from seed for a couple years with great success. Has anyone grown both it and Black Velvet? Which do you prefer? Why?

Thanks

We have grown both series in our trial gardens, and I have found the Bullseye series to have a much more uniform and stable black patteren. The Black Velvet tends to be a little less uniform.

Thanks for the input. We have been growing Bullseye for 3 years now with great results. Probably have 4-5 per 100 with a more regular zone pattern, all others have a nice dark leaf and bloom nicely, very drought tol. We start ours from seed (already started this year), excellent germination, good vigor and growth. These sell great at farmers markets too!

Thanks, Blueflint
