Leaf information: | Glossy broad dark purple to almost black leaves |
Preferred Soil: | Prefers well-drained soils, rich in organic matter. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot. |
With striking, almost black foliage this plant can add a dramatic touch to the garden or indoor space. With deep, richly coloured leaves providing a stunning contrast against lighter, green plants you can create a visually captivating display.
Care Considerations: | Regular watering should be considered to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the hotter months, ensuring adequate moisture and add mulch to help retain soil moisture. A small amount of slow-release fertiliser during the growing season can help support healthy growth. Pruning is generally not required, generally only to remove any damaged or dying leaves. |
