Black Ball is a gorgeous selection of the classic cottage garden flower. Elegant upright 2.5-3' tall silvery green branching stems are topped with with 1" rich deep purple, almost black colored blooms. Edible blossoms can be used endlessly to decorate desserts, in salad, as a food dye, in tea, or for a perfectly purple bath soak. A beautiful cut flower in fresh and dried arrangements. Pollinator attractor, long blooming, cold tolerant, and so so pretty.
