Wow, that purple looks amazing.
I understand the seedlings will be darker at the beginning?
Exactly

Love it! They're not even darker, they are just black! That's a first for me. One week, I think, and they'll arrive. I hope everyone will get them safely.
The first leaves are always a very dark purple or even completely black, but as the plant grows, the new leaves turn green with no darker shades🤷‍♂️

Yea, I though so, that was often the case with all of my purple ones (and I saw your bigger tasmanian black on the picture xD) but I didn't even think they could be black at the start. That is something worth pursuing :drooling:
