An extraordinary-looking plant with purple-green leaves that turn jet black, when grown in full sun and very well-drained soil. Small spikes of bell-shaped, pale mauve flowers appear in June followed by spherical, dark blue fruit. Looks fantastic planted with silver-leaved plants in a border or container.
