Black Trumpets Salpiglossis (Salpiglossis sinuata) is an extraordinary annual that brings an air of mystery and drama to the garden. Its velvety, trumpet-shaped blooms are deep, almost black purple, etched with golden veining that gives each flower the look of a hand-painted work of art.
 
Also known as Painted Tongue, Salpiglossis has a history as a Victorian favorite, prized for its exotic, velour-like petals and intricate colors. The Black Trumpets variety carries this legacy with a darker, more dramatic palette — perfect for gardeners who want something out of the ordinary.
 
Plants grow 18–24 inches tall with a bushy, upright habit, making them ideal for borders, cutting gardens, and container displays. Blooms appear from summer into fall, drawing admiration from both pollinators and people alike. While they look delicate, Salpiglossis performs reliably in full sun with rich, well-drained soil.
 
For gardeners seeking a flower that’s as unusual as it is beautiful, Black Trumpets Salpiglossis offers a rare combination of gothic elegance and old-world charm.
