Produktbeschreibung

A celebrated heirloom oddity dating back centuries, this majestic plant produces deeply cupped, chocolate-maroon flowers that offer a striking, near-black visual presence. The dark, satiny texture of the petals catches the light beautifully, bringing a touch of historical charm, elegance, and moody sophistication to both formal and informal planting schemes. Its towering presence and unique colouration make it an absolute showstopper when positioned against pale masonry or white wooden fences.

To ensure this heirloom variety persists in your garden for generations, you must actively manage its propagation; once the blooming cycle completely finishes, leave a handful of the swollen, wheel-shaped seed pods on the stalk until they turn brown and brittle. Harvest these flat, disc-like seeds and scatter them into loose soil immediately to guarantee a fresh crop of baby plants for the following seasons. Ensure the planting site receives absolute, unobstructed full sun, as any shade will cause the massive stalk to lean aggressively as it stretches toward the light.

Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
