Black Jack

our experience:  Very lovely dark blooms on tall plants with dark foliage. Does sometimes bloom later, so pinching early for multiple branches seems best for us to get more blooms before end of season. Starting/planting earlier than others is a consideration also. It's dark POW! is worth it.
