The midnight mistress

BW Black Diamond

Velvet petals. Twilight habits. Optional rules.

Currently unavailableNo cuttings in this release

BW Black Diamond arrives like a scandalous secret under the cover of darkness.

Her petals deepen into velvety, blackened burgundy, all temptation and shadow, with the kind of colour that makes ordinary reds look like they forgot to commit.

She does not chase the sun like the cheerful ones. She belongs to twilight, moonlight and whatever the garden gets up to when nobody is watching.

There is a forbidden-love quality here: dark, addictive and a little too composed for anyone’s good.

Once BW Black Diamond is in your world, the brighter flowers suddenly have competition after dark.

Her name, written in metal

She deserves better than a fading marker.

I label every plant in my collection with tags made by my son Brock at BrockMark. He permanently laser-engraves them into weatherproof anodised aluminium, finishes each one with a stainless-steel wire loop and checks the spelling before the plants are left to defend their own identities.

If your own collection has started answering to “that pink one near the fence”, Brock can restore order.

Register the temptation

The private register is an expression of interest, not a commitment to buy. It helps Steve understand which cultivar should be encouraged to make a future appearance.
