| Sambucus Black Tower |
Although the terrace is designed to have a black and white theme, at this time of the year there is a delightful coincidence of purple flowering. The sambucus Black Tower and Black Lace are at their best and the hebe Midnight Sky has been unexpectedly attractive. Whilst none of these plants could be described as an individual dazzler the subtlety of their flowers is an absolute joy.

Of course these are not the only purple flowering "black" plants on the terrace. The Queen of the Night lillies and the ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' (the black grass) are also quite exquisite.
Top Tip: even when planting primarily for foliage do not forget to consider the impact of the flowering as well.
