Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.
'Hillside Black Beauty' could be grown just for its highly attractive, finely cut deep purple - almost black foliage. However as autumn approaches tall, upright to slightly arching flower stems appear bearing highly fragrant, pale pink bottlebrush-like flowers.
Best when planted in a good soil that is moisture retentive. Grow in dappled shade to help maintain its deep, dark foliage colour, it will tolerate a slightly sunnier position than the green leaved forms, morning or late afternoon sun will be fine but avoid very hot areas of the garden.
