For lovers of the dark side this bold shrub is a deadset winner, with deepest brown-black leaves all year round, then those golden true flowers surrounded by a ring of maroon and scarlet.

Ebony is also small enough to grow in pots on your patio as well as taking pride of place in the flowerbed. And if you're 100% metalhead, why not plant a hedge of it?
