I have been a big fan of Karen Platt ever since she ignited gardener’s desire for dark plants with her much acclaimed book, Black Magic and Purple Passion. I believe that she was the catalyst that brought about the black plant phenomenon first in the UK then worldwide.
You can just imagine how thrilled I was when Karen agreed to be a featured contributor to Sensational Color. Karen will be writing articles based on her color book series that represent all colors used in the garden. Each of Karen’s books offers a blueprint on which plants to choose and how to use them and I think we can look forward to her keen insights on how to bring new colors into our gardens.
The first article is Color in the Garden – Black and if you’re like me by the time you finish reading it you’ll want to grab the book or ebook and start thinking about how you might add a little Black Magic to your garden.
