THE BLACK GARDEN

99162 THE BLACK GARDEN COLLECTION: While overlapping with the two previous purpled collections, this will be more in tune with the numerous articles derived from the now famous book (which we offer) on the black garden with such citizens as Strobilanthus, Ipomea, Coleus, Pseuderanthemum, Hibiscus, Tripogogon, Perilla, Aeonium, Ophiopogon, Euphorbia (cotinifolia), Dahlia (Bishop), Pennisetum, Oxalis, Alternanthera, Colocasia, Capsicum, Cordyline, Ajuga, and Setcreasea as well as hardies such as Ajuga, Heuchera, Sambucus, Salix, Weigelia, Petasites, Zantedeschia, Salvia lyrata cultivars, Trifolium, Lagerstroemia 'Pink Velour,' Lysimachia atropurpurea, Plantago, Cryptotaenia, Cercis 'Forest Pansy,' numerous Sedums, Buddleia 'Guenivere,' Cotinus, and Eupatorium. If you delve too deeply here, you will almost certainly be on the fringes of creating a "Goth Garden" which will thrill your previously difficult to understand children and grandchildren. While some listed here are expensive trees, and while any individual plant you wish must be ordered individually, we do offer a good reliable starter collection including both winter hardy and flashy tropicals of 5 plants @ $22.00

30108 ALOCASIA PLUMBEA NIGRA [ATROPURPUREA] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Black Taro" Elegant polished, blackish purple leaves form handsome specimens; produces clusters of large ivory hood shaped spathes protecting the 8"+ spadix. Very popular addition to the bog garden; trendy color for the urn fancier--especially those designing "Black Gardens." Not to be confused with the smaller, non-glossy "Jet Black Wonder" Colocasia.

56914 BEGONIA BLACK TRUFFLES BEG TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.75 (rz) Small statured. Crinkly spirals of dark sheen with brilliant white eye; forming a tight, neat tuffet of busy foliage. Much darker than 'Hocking Bravura' with more fingered margins.

56324 BEGONIA GLADYS MEYER [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.75 (rz) Dark velvety Sherwood green leaves, nicely lobed, with maroon red undersides. Very showy Tropp hybrid with masses of white flower clusters mid winter.

56702 BEGONIA HOCKING VELVET [HORT] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.25 Heavy substanced deep burbon bronzed starburst leaves with dark shimmery surfaces accented with deep carmine reverses. Many white winter flowers fading to shell pink. A Frieling hybrid which seems to be appearing under various velvet names!

57505 COLEUS HYBRIDUS BLACK LACE LAB TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Very frilled 'Cantigny Royale' sport forming petite tumbling mounds of frothy purple foliage developing a faint cabbage green edge in lower light; this excellent Charles Downer find seems to have developed an awkward alias of 'Duckfoot Midnight' in Florida trade. Renaming plagues the Coleus offerings nationwide. We are confident that this excellent hybrid prefers to achieve the effect of lace far more than becoming a quacker--in fact this is by far the strongest hyperlacy hybrid for exposed sites such as containers in windy areas..

55695 COLEUS HYBRIDUS CANTIGNY ROYALE LAB CGH PRICE: $ 4.00 Very tiny elaborately lobed mahogany maroon leaves tightly packed on muchbranched short toppling stems. Intensifies the similarly statured 'Purple Duckfoot,' 'Charlie McCarthy,' & 'India Frills' when planted as a group. From Cantigny Gardens in Wheaton, Il. The touchstone by which any new mini must be evaluated. Constantly reinvents itself, turning dusky green in shade, but turning a true licorice in full sun.

55633 COLEUS HYBRIDUS DARK STAR LAB GH PRICE: $ 4.50 The darkest of all the so-called black coleus we sell. Blackish purple wide leaves closely spaced on self branching ebony-violet stems. For the "Black Garden"; very flat foliage with only slight ruffling. Deservedly popular despite its somewhat squat slow growing nature. Not as tall nor as vigorous as the ruffly 'Othello.'

66838 COLEUS KRISPY KRITTER LAB TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.00 Sold out at this time. A rich black maroon Lohman creation with more compact & far deeper 3-d ruffles than 'Othello.' Showy spires of violet fl early winter for a windowsill show. Extremely popular over-the-top fastigate hybrid. Quite remarkable presence. Glad to report that this extremely slow growing greenhouse must is back in stock.

33106 COLOCASIA ESCULENTA BLACK MAGIC MINI ARAC TGH TP PRICE: $ 10.00 Miniature form of "Black Magic." Newly available compact form which seems to hold winter foliage successfully.

39184 COLOCASIA ESCULENTA JET BLACK WONDER [ETC.] ARAC CGH PRICE: $ 15.00(The correct original name is C. jenkensii 'Uahiapele') THE solidly dusky deep purple leaved taro creating a sensation in the garden & conservatory alike; also sold as 'Cranberry,' & 'Black Magic.' Very happy as a semi-aquatic--will maintain foliage readily in the warm winter greenhouse as long as it is given consistently wet warm feet.

82002 DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS KING OF THE BLACKS CAR HH CGH HT PRICE: $ 4.25 "Trailing Clove Carnation" fragrant purple blackish red blossoms over compactly statured gray foliage cascading in time from your baskets of windowboxes. Strong performer in the sunny winter greenhouse.

67035 EUPHORBIA FLAMELEAF (SPECIES) EUP TGH HP PRICE: $ 2.50 "Flameleaf Spurge" Multitudes of slender stems flutter with rounded diamond-shaped leaves of dusky violet fading to emerald green edges. While of delicate appearance, actually a very easy-to-grow houseplant, marvelous under lights. Amazon native. Absolutely excellent when added to outdoor summer urns, windowboxes and even to Hosta beds as the dusky purple small featured foliage makes any companion plant more special--especially successful when paired with Euphorbia 'Diamond Dust'.

41403 HEDERA PASTUCHOVII ARAL CGH HH PRICE: $ 7.00 Distinctive Ivy with beautiful black-green glossy elongate (often rather hastate) leaves. Hardiness untested here. Very popular with serious plant collectors. Native to limestone cliffs of the Caspian forests in Asia.

53648 PEPEROMIA REPII PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 "Purple Cloud Plant" Low, much-branched purple stems covered with glossy deep toned purple leaves with silver midrib flame; excellent indoor plant of rapid growth; perfect for small hanging baskets; a natural for terrariums. Ever so perfect.

30294 PHILODENDRON ANDREANUM ARAC TGH PRICE: $ 45.00 "Black Gold" Elongated heart-shaped leaves of dark velvet with a lovely coppery sheen and delicate ivory veins. Probably same as P. melanochrysum. Thrives in high humidity and low light. This is one of the true beauties of the philodendron world.

30700 PHILODENDRON BLACK CARDINAL [HYB] ARAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 SOLD OUT FOR 2010 This should be available late this year again or in the 2013 SEASON. Bamboo Nurseries self heading hybrid forming a wide dramatic waxy birdsnest habit of overlapping wide rippled leaves of burgundy flushed purple; violet petioles. PP#5355

80364 PHYLLOSTACHY NIGRA BLACK BAMBOO GRA GH PRICE: $ 95.00 One of the most sought after of the Bamboo cultivars, this is not totally hardy in the North, but after a cool spell always darkens into a great looking plant. We grow this outside here, but it can be containerized easily and make a great indoor subject. We have some 2 gallon pots just full of this plant. Shipping would be higher than usual, but these are well grown. Please inquire as to availability in liter pots at a much reduced price..

41054 PILEA SPRUCEANA NORFOLK URT TERR TGH PRICE: $ 4.50Puckered oval black green metallic leaves quaintly quilted and rickly banded pewter; low growing stoloniferous species from Peru with tiny clusters of rosy toned tinsy flowers when happy in your terrarium.

50051 PSEUDERANTHEMUM ATROPURPUREUM RUBRUM ACAN TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 Very wide laquered maroon oval wide leaf pairs. Rare form which is the most dramatic of this showy group of Acanthus relatives; recently rediscovered by outdoor designers for the "Tropical Look" as its color saturation in full sun matches the skin of a ripe eggplant. Although we have offered this for thirty some years, we a amused by each "new" resurrection of this bold looker: most currently as the brand new "Black Varnish" plant!

41796 SACCHARUM OFFICINARUM VIOLACEUM PELE'S SMOKE GRA TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 "Purple Sugar Cane" from Polynesia makes a dramatic pot plant with long elegant purple leaves ranked on the woody segmented maroon canes--long a premire favorite for collectors with a greenhouse desiring the visual design effect of this stunning "Black Magic Repellent Plant." This is best known as Saccharum 'Pele's Smoke' in Hawaii where thick stemmed clumps become stunning permanent garden statements. More recently this most handsome clump of dusky purple has won over temperate zone gardners bent on bringing a tropical tone to summer plantins. And indeed, the "Purple leaved Sugar Cane" becomes amazing when brought out into a collection of potted plants on your deck or patio. Various customers plant their ever-thickening clumps directly in their summer display beds, digging these shallow rooted clustered canes in the fall to store in their plant rooms or a corner of the hobbygreenhouse until spring re-planting. Always remember to keep the edible ornamental quite moist.

61094 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA BLACK MAGIC AGA HP PRICE: $ 12.00 Erect very dark emerald leaves with dramatic gold edge; very similar to 'goldiana' clones.

68221 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA BLACK SPORT/FORM AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 Very slow growing "Ebony Hemp" Rough surface of blackish-green. Very distinctive rugose surfaced extremely vertical foliage makes this a curosity in any collection. Ken Frieling found this in a random heap in a central Florida roadside nursery too many years ago for him to admit the date.

68223 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA CRANE'S BLACK SPORT AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 32.00 Remarkable erect tulip-shaped rosette of black-green leaves with bright gold rim. Habit similar to nelsonii or to a giant incurved 'Loops's Pride' but more ornate than either of these. Unique very slow growing treasure from Ruth Crame's remarkable collection.

68413 SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA HAHNII JADE AGA HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 "Jade Birdsnest Plant" One of the most distinctive of the Hahni group as the foliage displays no markings or chevrons on the gorgeous deep jade surfaced thick substanced leaves of deep mahogany green-- thesomewhat sheened pointed leaves thickly overlap to form tight upright cups. Very bold. Take a look at the next entry also, for a variegated form of this beauty.
