Salpiglossis 'Black Trumpet' Seeds (Naturally Grown)

Also known as Painted Tongue. Bewitching blooms transition from burgundy to deep obsidian, centered with a stark golden eye, creating a gothic bloom rich in depth and personality. Ideal for contrasting with stark white or for inclusion in an all-black garden, their sturdy stems render them perfect for dramatic cut flower arrangements. This half-hardy annual, standing at 19 inches tall and 11 inches wide, is a rare variation of the plant once known as the Velvet Trumpet, characterized by its dark mahogany, velvet-like petals, and yellow-pollen dotted blooms. Best planted in groups with hay mulch around the base to cool the soil, it brings a unique allure to any setting.
