Black Flower Seeds and Bulbs

Black flowers may not be what first comes to mind when you think of a beautiful garden. But they should be! You will be pleasantly surprised by these stunning blooms. Planting black flowers in your yard produces a distinct landscaping motif; some call it a gothic look, while others call it sophisticated or dramatic. Eden Brothers has you covered for your dark and mysterious black flower garden desires, from varieties like Black Hero Tulip Bulbs to Night Rider Lily and Jumbo Diamond Head Elephant Ear Bulbs!

• They make a dramatic goth garden
• Black flowers add contrast and drama to any space
• Striking when paired with lightly colored flowers
• Black is often referred to as a symbol of strength and power

Black might not be the first color that comes to mind when you envision your dream garden, but black flowers are winning their way into gardeners’ and florists' hearts alike. While the color black is often associated with death and goodbyes, the color also symbolizes power, mystery, and elegance–it all comes down to your perspective.

Dramatic goth gardens are becoming more and more popular, and themed black gardens need not be all gloom and doom (although they definitely can, if that’s your thing). Pair heat-loving summer annuals with the cool-season perennials and reblooming flower bulbs to cultivate a unique plot that can’t help but draw garden visitors’ interest and intrigue.

Plant a variety of focal flowers for staggered flowering all season long. Pair Black Parrot Tulip Bulbs with fall-planted Black Ranunculus Bulbs for dramatic early season blooming, and follow up these dark displays with Double Black Poppy seeds and Grenadin King of Blacks Carnation seeds for midsummer color. Be sure to order a few striking Rip City Black Dahlia bulbs to grow alongside spring-planted Night Rider Lily Bulbs for a readily available supply of cut flowers from summer to the first frost.

Who says you only have to plant black flowers? Black flowers provide a striking contrast in the garden when planted alongside lighter-toned flowers. Incorporating blue, yellow, and red flowers into your garden will help ensure that the darker-colored beauties will get pollinated, too.

Black flowers are really a trick of the eye–these dark beauties are actually maroon, or wine, or another deep shade of red or purple that actually appears black in comparison to everything else. Play up the striking effect by pairing ebony-colored gems like Black-Flowered Siberian Iris with Rainbow Mix Gladiolus Bulbs or Blue Columbine Seeds.

Many black flower seeds and bulbs thrive in containers, so pot up these midnight treasures to accent your front porch or patio! Plant Black Magic Elephant Ear bulbs as a garden border plant and admire the midnight-colored foliage. Place Knowlians Black Morning Glory at the base of an arch or fence and watch the gorgeous vines climb up the trellis, hummingbirds and butterflies chasing the fragrant blooms. Be sure to keep your Nigra Hollyhocks close at hand for a ready supply of exquisitely gorgeous cut flowers.

Whether you gravitate towards goth gardens or whimsical flower fields, these black flower seeds and bulbs are sure to accomplish either purpose. With the largest selection of rare and unique varieties around, you can’t go wrong any way you choose. Eden Brothers’ flower seeds and bulbs are the highest quality available, and you’ll see it when they bloom–these beauties are nothing short of magical.
