Like its winged namesake, this medium-sized flower looks black but shines purple or deep blue in sunlight. Individual blossoms have white throats smudged with red-purple margins and veins. Plants grow to 3 or 4’ tall with an equal spread. Combine with silver-leafed plants like Artemisa or Senecio for drama and elegance. Hardy to 20F.
Common name synonym: Beard tongue
