Overview

Velvety, dark purple leaves with a flash of magenta along the midrib, triangular in shape, pointed and lobed, 'Black Dragon' is a compact and upright tender, evergreen perennial. Whorled racemes of violet blue flowers appear in summer. Well suited to block planting for impactful bedding schemes, this deer resistant plant is also good value in a pot or container.
