DESCRIPTION
Leptinella squalida 'Platt's Black' is an attractive ground cover known for its unique dark foliage, which creates a dramatic contrast in the garden. The fern-like leaves range from deep purplish-black to dark green, providing year-round interest and adding a rich, moody tone to the landscape. In late spring to early summer, small, button-like yellow-green flowers appear, though they are often overshadowed by the bold foliage, which is the plant's main attraction.
Native to New Zealand, 'Platt's Black' is a cultivar of Leptinella squalida, prized for its ability to form a dense, mat-like cover in a variety of garden settings. Its distinctive dark color makes it a popular choice for edging, filling in between stepping stones, or as a contrast to lighter-colored plants. The combination of its unusual hue and low-maintenance growth habit makes it a standout option for adding texture and a touch of drama to the garden.
