Your black petunia sounds like it had a great start to the season. Drooping and/or wilting can happen for a variety of reasons, most often with either too much or too little water.
Petunias are rather drought and heat tolerant, and do best with a thorough watering once a week. The key is for good drainage because excessive water in the soil can cause the roots to be affected. They prefer slightly moist soil to dry soil, so check your soil to see where things stand before adding more moisture.
If your plant does not perk up when watered, stop watering it and allow the soil to dry thoroughly. Petunias also benefit from a dose of balanced fertilizer monthly.
Drooping can also be due to a lack of sun, as they prefer full sun, or a sign of insect or fungal issue.
