I’ll Have a Latte

You wouldn’t have to know much about me to guess that the I love dark plants.  One that really float my boat the most is Supertunia® Latte.  The contrast between the chocolate eye and the white makes this plant the Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cup of annuals for me.

I cannot wait to set terra cotta pots brimming full of it in my garden, next to a thick stand of Decadence® 'Dark Chocolate' Baptisia, Black Mondo Grass or a rambling bit of Proven Accents® Sweet Caroline Raven.

Dark plants also look nice next to white plants like Intensia® White. And I do just so happen to have a brand new black and white garden. Coincidence? I think not…

Not to skip the obvious, dang this plant will look HOT with the more coffee-colored Coleus, like ColorBlaze® Newly Noir, deep-toned grasses like Graceful Grasses® Vertigo® or Proven Accents® Sweet Caroline Bewitched After Midnight (a sweet little potato vine).
