Horticulture - Dark Foliaged Plants, You Make The Rockin World Go Round    
Dark Foliaged Plants, You Make The Rockin' World Go Round
July 21, 2009
by  Amanda Thomsen

My inner punk rock girl just can't quit dark foliaged plants. I made a collage of some of my faves, want to see?

Here you see: A cutting of a mystery tree that's seriously not of our zone, Black Hollyhocks, Ligularia 'Britt Marie Crawford', Hemerocallis 'American Revolution', Black Majesty Millet, random Ajuga that blew in from the neighbor's yard, Forest Pansy Redbud, Red Victoria Lobelia, mystery Dahlia, Bronze Fennel, Smokebush, Canna, Rex Begonia, Hibiscus acetosella, Castor Beans, Chocolate Eupatorium, Acanthus spinosus, Sambucus 'Black Lace', Cimicifuga 'Hillside Black Beauty', Euphorbia 'Chameleon'

That's how my brain works, some proper Latin- which I insist is the way to go but some common names have leaked in due to all the peer pressure. I'll be in the forum.
