Black Flowers

Random question of the night. I know that there isn't really a true Black Flower as such, most are a dark red/chocolate/burgundy etc colour. But any that are relatively easy to grow and do grow well in NZ Conditions and able to get! Don't really see them anywhere here

You should be able to get chocolate cosmos, it really smells like chocolate

Cool, thanks for that. Have heard the same about them, really nice smell :) Cheers

Saw the worlds first black Petunia today at Palmers called Black Velvet. Deep, rich, pure black, tiny flick of a yellow throat.Circa $12 per small plant.
It stopped me in my tracks.

Last winter I saw on the net a black hyacinth but I dont think it has been released here. It was pure black too

I bought black pansys from kings plant barn a few weeks ago. They do have a purple hint in the sunlight though. Easy to grow and looks good.
