The Black Champ


Lots of plants are said to have “black” leaves. Ranunculus ficaria ‘Brambling’ comes about as close to the true thing as you could hope for, with its small leaves a tortiseshell mixture of black, maroon, green, and silver. Every catalog describes the colors of ‘Brambling’s’ leaves differently (which I always think means you have a special plant on your hands)… and then it blooms with sunshine bright yellow flowers.
