“Queen of the Night” Tulips
While spring typically means bright and cheery blooms, you can grow “Queen of the Night” tulips for a darker mood in your garden landscape. A perennial bulb that blooms in mid to late spring, these black tulips are elegant and last a long time as a cut flower. Be sure to plant your tulip bulbs by October for best results!
“Black Magic” Roses
A hybrid rose that produces velvety petals, the “Black Magic” rose is perfect for a mature and reserved garden. While the petals grow in a deep burgundy color, you may be able to feed your plants and achieve an even darker hue. No matter what, this rose blooms prolifically and thrives in full sun.
“Moulin Rouge” Sunflowers
Another flower that is technically deep red, the “Moulin Rouge” sunflower variety produces petals in black and maroon. These sunflowers have a pleasant radial pattern to their petals, with the outermost edges turning redder than their centers. It’s also a large sunflower, reaching up to seven feet tall!
Black Mondo Grass
Perfect for the contemporary garden, this black variety of mondo grass is evergreen and attractive. Its leaves are narrow and have a glossy deep purple or black hue, and it’s one of the few plants on this list that appears fully black! Plus, it produces violet flowers in the summertime and is incredibly resistant to drought and frost.
“Black Pearl” Coral Bell
Thriving in partial shade, coral bells are great to plant in undergrowth areas or parts of your garden that don’t see a lot of sunshine. The “Black Pearl” or “Plum Pudding” cultivars are full of stunning dark leaves, developing delicate flowers in the summertime. These plants are easy to care for and are a relatively simple addition to any landscaping plan.
“Dark Dimension” Hyacinths
There’s so much to love about the striking beauty of hyacinths, especially the “Dark Dimension” variety.

Plus, you can easily plant hyacinths with the rest of your spring bulbs, adding a dash of darkness to your otherwise cheery display!
“Black Beauty” Tomatoes
If you’re looking for an edible plant to add some depth to your garden, “Black Beauty” tomatoes are an incredibly popular heirloom variety. These glossy tomatoes thrive in full sunshine and taste earthy and delicious. If you cut into one, you’ll still find the trademark red found in most tomatoes, but their exterior color really makes these tomatoes special!
“Black Nebula” Carrots
Similarly to “Black Beauty” tomatoes, “Black Nebula” carrots are eerie and unique additions to any vegetable garden. Found in deep purple hues, so deep that they can look black, “Black Nebula” carrots are standouts in any meal. You can plant carrots in early spring or late summer, depending on whether you want a summer or fall harvest.
Black Calla Lillies
Calla lilies are iconic and elegant, typically found in white. However, there are a few different black calla lily varieties for you to consider if you want this delicate bloom in a different shade. Calla lilies love sunshine, but you can always plant your lilies in a container if that makes it easier to get them the care that they need.
“Black Pearl” Ornamental Peppers
Have you thought about planting ornamental peppers in your garden? Striking and easy to care for in containers or planted in the ground, the “Black Pearl” variety of ornamental pepper is covered in black foliage. It also produces striking red peppers and these plants are fairly drought-resistant, requiring water once a week unless placed in extremely sunny locations.
“Sooty” Sweet William
Also known as Dianthus barbatus, sweet William is a great flowering plant to consider for your garden, especially the “Sooty” variety.
