I've been growing "wave" petunias for a few years.  I often get volunteers, and they are usually plants with some of the good traits of the parents.  So no, the hybrid petunias don't grow true from seed, but the seeds seem to be viable, and produce nice plants.  Just not quite as nice as their expensive parents.
