Planting a Black Garden in 2026

 My aim for 2026 is to plant a garden with black flowers, trees and shrubs in the UK.

But how easy would this be to achive now that we are aleady in April?

Who many flowers, trees and shrubs are native to the U,  Eurpoe and world wide?

So I will have to do some reasurch on this and also I would be looking at putting them into pots to control the growth and spead of them espically if they are not native to the UK.
