About Black Varnish

Almost always grown for its bold and distinctive foliage, Black Varnish is an ideal statement plant in any setting. The large glossy almost black oval leaves look fabulous when paired with intensely bright blooms or lime green foliage. Plants will put up a flower spike with small bright pink flowers. Black Varnish is a tropical plant and should not taken into the outdoor garden until temperatures are consistently warm. It should also be moved back indoors when night time temperatures cool towards fall. Such tropical plants do not like to be chilled and will certainly not tolerate any frost. While outdoors, the plant is an excellent specimen plant; planted in an attractive container it will become a focal point with its glossy foliage and bold dark colour — the higher the exposure the darker the foliage color will be.
