Honeymoon New York Night Lenten Rose
Best hardy perennial for vibrant early spring garden color.
These near-black blooms bring a moody, sophisticated edge to the late-winter garden that most pastel spring flowers simply can’t match. They are remarkably low-maintenance and deer-resistant, though you will need to keep them away from curious pets due to their toxicity.
