1. Black Pearls®
Click to display
‘Black Pearls’ has the darkest foliage of all Astilbes. Mid-late, fantastic new color! large flower plumes are purple with a hint of blue and the foliage is dark green, stems are sturdy and won't flop over. Finely cut foliage is very heat tolerant and will tolerate part sun to shade.

Black Mondo GrassOphiopogon planiscapus
2. Niger
Click to display
Looking much like a black Liriope, Black Mondo Grass is a compact, densely growing, clump forming, evergreen, grass-like plant. When grown in full sun in the north, the foliage emerges purplish-green and then turns nearly jet black. It has a softly arching habit.

From early through midsummer, short spikes of light purple to white flowers (much like those of Liriope) are produced, followed by purplish black berries in the fall.

Interesting, tall selection whose foliage emerges green in spring and soon turns purple. Fragrant, creamy white, bottle brush-like flowers that repel insects are an added bonus. Attractive green seedpods form after blooms fade.

Blackberry (Thornless)Rubus fruticosa
4. Black Satin
Click to display
This thornless, heat tolerant blackberry is a prolific producer of deliciously sweet and juicy, deep blue-black berries - that can be harvested without getting pricked by thorns! Small, soft pink flowers appear on second year wood, the semi-erect canes yielding a reliable crop of large blackberries in midsummer. Deciduous.

Dark-as-night, shimmering foliage with gorgeously scalloped purple leaves that are larger than ‘Mahogony’ and darker than ‘Catlin's Giant’. A knockout in patio pots, combos, and as a striking groundcover accent with white, gold, or light-colored plants.

ColeusSolenostemon scutellarioides
7. Black Dragon

The leaves of ‘Black Dragon’ are spectacular, both for their red-to-midnight-purple color shading and their rippling edges, which give the plant much more presence than most Coleus. Breathe a little hot color into the shade border or sunny window this season with this unusually richly-textured, warmly-colored foliage plant. Compact, very showy, and easy to grow, it's a must-have for anyone with a patch of shade.

9. Black Taffeta
Click to display
This selection forms a mound of large, glossy, heavily ruffled, almost-black leaves. Sprays of pink flowers on short stems in spring. Great vigor. In warm regions this is best in part to full shade. Excellent in the border, for edging, or in tubs and mixed containers. Foliage should not be trimmed back in the fall, but plants may be tidied up in spring by removing any withered or tired-looking leaves.

DiervillaDiervilla rivularis
10. Kodiak® Black (‘SMNDRSF’)
Click to display
Diervilla just got a lot more colorful. Durable and dramatic dark purple foliage makes Kodiak® Black diervilla a beautiful, easy choice for landscaping. New growth emerges deep purple-black all season but is especially dramatic in spring and fall. The neat, tidy stems are peppered with yellow trumpet-shaped blooms all summer. This fast growing, vigorous North American native is unbothered by pests or diseases. Sometimes known as bush honeysuckle, which is a bit of a misnomer, so we prefer using diervilla as the common name.

11. Black Lace® (‘Eva’)
Click to display
Intense purple black foliage is finely cut, giving it an effect similar to that of Japanese maple. Indeed, some designers are using it in place of the more sensitive acer varieties since BLACK LACE is extremely durable and adaptable.

12. Royal Hawaiian® Black Coral
Click to display
One of the deepest black-leaved Colocasias available. If you’re looking for a focal point for the pond side or for containers, look no further than this dramatic plant. It features huge, glossy jet black, corrugated, arrow-shaped leaves with deep blue veins on jet black stems.

At full size in the landscape, it will reach 4’ tall and short runners will appear close to the mother plant. If you grow this plant in containers, make sure it is a very large one and be sure to give it a consistent supply of moisture. This plant will drink up all you can give it and can even grow directly in shallow water.

Great foliage component plant in combinations; excellent heat tolerance and good vigor. This variety features a unique climbing habit that is a twist on the usually trailing plant.
