Extremely dark purple, in the right light it looks
black, and this year with the cooler weather right before blooming the falls
are nearly black even under fluorescent lights.
Wonderful grower and increaser. Large
blooms, impressive dark color just short of black. Blooms well in part
shade, 2nd year after planting.
