I would tend to agree with Natalie. I do have several varieties of daylilies that are near black but they all look more red or purple. I have black hollyhocks growing in two different areas and one is black and the other is maroon( I think its from the amount of sun they recieve) . I also have several iris and they tend to be more black, I have Midnight Oil , Black is Black, and Jewel Baby dwarf iris,they are black.
