You can think about how you can introduce some darkness into your own garden or apartment. Discover the dark side of the flower kingdom below: Black flowers are a real eye-catcher!
Are there black flowers? Tulip 'Queen of Night'
A dark, almost black, purple bloom rather than a candy-colored spectrum is what the Queen of the Night displays when she pokes her head out of the ground in late April, at the same time as other tulips. This is the most elegant representation of this flower. Caring for these tulips in the garden is the same as that of the other varieties: the plant thrives well in a bed or in a pot. Unlike pastel colors, they create a dramatic contrast in your spring landscape. Tulips thrive in full light and well-draining soil.
Real black tall bearded iris 'Before the Storm'
Bearded irises, which come in a variety of colors, are particularly beautiful when they are black. A striking, deep purple beard complements the dark purple flowers of the 'Before the Storm' variety. You can also find other varieties in black on the Internet that are very popular. Remove the dying flowers so you can recharge the plant's rhizomes, roots, and leaves for next year. The height is approx. 90 cm. The plant needs bright light and well-draining soil. You can instantly brighten up your home with these cut flowers in vases.
Dark pansies with purple hue 'Black Star'
The versatility of pansies—they thrive in warm and cold climates—and the rainbow of colors in which they come have ensured they have enjoyed popularity for generations. The origins of pansies lie in Western Asia and Europe. They come in a variety of bright colors, including white, blue and yellow, as well as a deep purple that almost looks black. This shade would be perfect for a garden with a darker theme. They can be planted in any zone because they tolerate both high and low temperatures. Pansies grow best in full sun or partial shade.
Black petunias for balconies and gardens
These dark, velvety blooms complement flowers of all shades and are particularly striking when contrasted with the plant's green foliage. Water the container petunias once or twice a day. In the wild they can go without water for a week, but in warmer weather they need more.The plant needs full sunand a soil with good drainage.
Very dark roses
Let's get straight to the point: There is no real black rose. However, if you crave black flowers, you can plant dark purple, deep burgundy or crimson roses that will blend beautifully with other black colored flowers. The 'Black Baccara' rose is almost black and is a wonderful variety. Roses are ideal for a location where they receive six hours of sun per day. They need well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.

The calla lily has a long history as an ornamental plant and is originally from southern Africa. Callas are popular for bouquets because of their sturdy stems and long-lasting flowers. Although white calla lilies are the most common, they also come in stunning purples and dark burgundy hues that are perfect for the garden. These charming plants thrive in moist soil, full sun or partial shade.
Blooming bat flower
The black bat flower (Notch builders) is immediately recognizable as a spooky flower for Halloween. Unlike what your neighbors have in their flower garden, this flower has bat-like features and two bracts that look like wings above the purple flowers. Plant the bat flowers in containers and bring them indoors during the winter months.
Soothing dahlias 'Black Satin' and 'Arabian Night'
The stunning, deep red dahlia has flowers up to 20cm in diameter. The dwarf dahlia 'Arabian Night' is ideal for growing in a container. These plants bloom from summer to fall.
Christmas rose in dark color
The hellebore is one of the hobby gardeners' favorite spring flowers because it is a perennial plant that blooms every year. The darker varieties are characterized by two rows of petals and a velvety deep purple color. A shady location is ideal for these plants.
