If you want to make your garden more dramatic, try planting dark plants like these. They will give off an air of natural beauty and contrast with flowers nicely!
These plants are considered some popular boldest black species:
1. BLACK PANSIES
If you want to give pansies a go in your garden, these easy-to-grow flowers are the perfect choice. They only need partial sun exposure and minimal care which makes them an ideal plant for beginners!
2. QUEEN OF NIGHT TULIPS
If you’re looking forward to the first signs of spring and want something other than typical pink or orange tulips, try these black varieties. You can find them starting in March or April if planted by late February; just make sure they get enough sun exposure!
3. BLACK NIGRA HOLLYHOCK
This plant is typically seen growing on old-fashioned cottages or along fences, but embodies a very different vibe when grown in full sun and well drained soil.
These stalks can grow up to six feet tall with jet black petals that give it an otherworldly look (like something from another time!).
4. BLACK BLEEDING HEARTS
If you thought this sad plant couldn’t get any more jarring, think again. It might look like an uninviting black stick in the ground but behind its striking appearance lies a brave little thing that will live for years to come if given enough sunlight and water!
5. BLACK CORNFLOWERS
Bachelor’s Buttons are the perfect plant for any cottage garden. These annual plants do well in full sun and attract butterflies just to make things even better!
6. BLACK CALLA LILIES
These stunning flowers are a deep black at their base, then fade to dark purple as the petals fan out. To see them pop up in your yard this summer start by planting bulbs during fall season- they’ll flower early!
7. BLACK MONDO GRASS
This evergreen perennial offers a low-maintenance way to make an impact in your yard. They grow up six inches tall and are excellent for flower bed borders or rock gardens!
8. BLACK SCABIOSAS
The dark pink honeysuckle has a traditional use as medicine to treat scabies. It usually blooms in 70 days, but this plant offers something different with its bold flowers and quick growth rate to make it worth looking out for!
9. BLACK VELVET PETUNIAS
The velvet texture of this mesmerizing flower will make it stand out amongst the rest. It’s best to plant in a sunny location with well-drained soil after last spring’s frost for optimum growth.
10. BLACK BAT FLOWERS
The large whisker-like leaves on the front of this plant are what inspired its nickname, “Devil’s Plant.” It’s also called “hedge nettle” and should be grown in a lightly shaded plot with soil that isn’t too wet or dry – just right!
