Heartleaf Blackflower

This small flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its green stem is thick and straight, and the giant, yellow leaves are light lime or blue on the underside and are finger-like with ripped edges. The leaves grow in pairs along the length of the stem.

Many giant flowers grow in a bunch at the end of the stem. The flowers are 2 cm (0.8 inches) wide, with petals that are bronze on the edges and black at the center. The flower head is shaped like a heart with 41 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. They are hardy.

It has a soft scent that smells like fresh linen, and it has very little pollen. It is a self-pollinator.
