Black Flowers

Grow Black Flowers for Contrast, Novelty

By , About.com Guide

The terminology "black flowers" is used loosely to refer to the darkest blooms available to growers. If you look closely, you'll usually see that "black flowers" are such a deep purple that they just appear black. I show pictures of black flowers, as well as an example of a plant with dark foliage, in this photo gallery.
