Black leaves?

13 years ago

Does anyone know which varieties have the darkest leaves?

I have a seedling that I got from a friend that leaves are almost black. They're absolutely gorgeous and I really hope they stay that way as the seedling matures. The seedling is at least a year old so they should at least remain darker than your average plumeria leaves; but if these stay as black as they are now then I won't care what color it's flowers turn out to be if it ever flowers.

I'll try to post a pic of my seedling leaves tomorrow so all of you can see how dak they are.

Some of the Hilo Beauty derivatives have leaves that start like that. Looking forward to the picture.

Scott Pratt has leaves that are almost maroon when they are young, it's very attractive.
