V is into goth succulents and grasses at the moment (and we both adore Abby). In Part 2 of this year's spring garden update next week, look closely in the stumpery and you will see a couple of small, new clumps of what looks like black grass. She has some black succulents that can grow taller and bigger, too, but they are still small and new. The dogs already knocked one off, so she keeps moving their container to try to protect them. I have a feeling more black plants will arrive as we find more at garden centers.
I'd love to see your goth collection when it's established! I see ads all the time for black irises or other types of flowers. A black succulent? I must find one! I love succulents.
V's black succulents are just a few inches tall. We saw the same variety in the formal gardens at Powys Castle last weekend, about a meter tall. It must take years to get that big. We have that to look forward to.

I used to have a dark colored version of this: Black Rose Tree Aeonium arboreum in California, but it wasn't technically black. Those are cool!
I looked at images of that online. I think that's what she bought as small succulents. But as I said, we saw one last weekend that is huge now.
Mine was really big! They don’t sell them here
V is trying to root the one that got knocked off by the dogs. I'll try to remember to let you know whether that works.
