In summer the finely feathered foliage is punctuated by small, yellow flowers that in autumn develop into attractive red burrs. It makes a wonderful <a href=\"\/\/www.gardensillustrated.com\/plants\/ground-cover-best-plants\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">groundcover<\/a> plant but doesn\u2019t like to be overshadowed by others. It\u2019s best grown in a gravel garden with plenty of light and air.

The spectacular, black-spotted seedpods are really small lampions that are long lasting when dried. It is a monotypic genus in the potato family, and very toxic if eaten. It takes its name from the ancient Greek poet and physician Nicander of Colophon who wrote several hundred hexameters on poisons and their antidotes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Height<\/strong> 1m.

We first came across this new cultivar, from Billy Carruthers at Binny Plants, at last year\u2019s Great Dixter Autumn Plant Fair and fell for its very large flowers in a dark, black purple and purplish red. It\u2019s an improved version of <em>Fuchsia<\/em> \u2018Roesse Blacky\u2019 with a chalice that looks like a ruffle skirt and slips that curl up. It\u2019s a large, upright plant better suited for pots than for hanging baskets, and its almost-black fruits, which are over 1cm, are also very tasty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Height<\/strong> 70cm.

So stunning are its flowers, which without night frost will bloom until December, that it feels out of place among the often messy mix of browns in the late autumnal border and is better placed in nice pot on the terrace.
