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
