I keep thinking one of these days I am going to do a gothic garden. There is something fasinating about black flowers.
black columbines
Ooohhhh....I'm with you! Black taro, one of the dark-dark Hurchera's, black hollyhock.....there's so much to choose from!

Springhill Nursery has Rudbeckia, Green Wizard. They are all black with little yellow dots. They also have black magic caladiums that are really interesting. Somebody had all black pansies but I can't remember what catalog I saw them in.

I had a black and white garden last year - black and white irises, the green wizard rudbeckia, white dwarf zinnias, black and white scabiosa, and black gem cornflower. Had a bad summer last year due to illness in the family and it ended up neglected, but I plan on trying again this year with pennie black nemophilia.
That would be so cool. You must take pics.
they are lovely..
I like black flowers, too! I'm looking forward to seeing your gothic garden. Sounds very cool!!
My black Helleborus.
Black viola:)
Oh those hellobores are awesome.
Those black violas are striking! That must have been what I saw in the catalog. I was thinking they were pansies.
