Editor's Note

Deep purple perennials like these 'Black' hollyhocks add incredible depth and drama to sunny garden borders. Their tall, structural form works best at the back of a flower bed, providing a dark backdrop that makes neighboring bright yellows or silvers pop. Ensure they have plenty of sun to maintain their intense, saturated color palette.
