Dark, dramatic and unapologetically bold — this rectangular design is a love letter to nature's most mysterious color. Towering corn and sunflowers line the back and sides, creating an intimate, enclosed feel that draws you in. Best tucked toward the back of your garden space — unless you want the corn and sunflowers stealing the show.
Every single plant in this design carries something black — from deep velvety blooms and purple-black leaves to smoky peppers and darkly dramatic vegetables. Snapdragons and pansies carpet the lower layers with gothic elegance. Tomatillos, artichoke, and three varieties of pepper bring serious culinary firepower. Mizuna, beets and bok choy round out the edible darkness with salad greens, tender baby tops and stir-fry gold.
A garden that looks like midnight and tastes like a revelation. 12 plant varieties, 60 plants +/-, all united by one gloriously dark vision.
Some recipe ideas:
Salsa made with tomatillo, jalapeno, and habanero (add tomatoes, onion and cilantro).
Steamed artichoke with lemon butter.
Roasted beets.
A stir fry with bok choy, beet tops and bell pepper, served with your favorite meat or seafood.
Dried ground peppers, added to melted butter and drizzled on freshly popped popcorn.
Mizuna salad with pansy flowers and candied pansies on your favorite dessert.
Snapdragon for cut flowers.
