Description
Reviews

The black Mourningbride is an annual summer flower that has many beautiful, large flowers to offer from pink to dark purple. The almost black flowers are the most common. They are an excellent source of nectar for butterflies and bees and provide a good colour contrast in the flower bed.

A great permanent flowering plant for the whole summer, which can also be used as a cut flower.
