Pincushion Flower ‘Black Knight’
ETA: Shipping begins Mid February
Moody, elegant, and endlessly useful.
Pincushion Flower ‘Black Knight’ is a true staple for anyone drawn to rich, dramatic color. Its near-black, button-shaped blooms add instant depth and contrast to bouquets, pairing beautifully with soft pastels, creamy whites, and warm neutrals. The flowers feel modern yet timeless, making them just as at home in romantic arrangements as they are in more sculptural designs.
This hardy annual blooms steadily all summer long, earning its reputation as a reliable workhorse in the cutting garden. Once the flowers fade, they leave behind striking, conical seedpods that are just as valuable for texture and interest. Loved by beneficial insects and generous in production, it solves the problem of finding a dark focal that keeps giving long after first cut.
Because every garden needs a little darkness to make the light shine.
