Black Gardening Inspiration by Kat Von D
Kat Von D is one of the most unique entrepreneurs of our time, and any slander on the goth goddess will not be taken lightly. As a veteran tattooist and beauty mogul, Kat changed the game surrounding art on two levels, ushering in an unseen level of elegance and poise to both mediums. For being a pillar of goth-y goodness, a business phenom, a cat mama, and a vegan icon, Kat, we salute you.
Kat's Love for Horticulture
One of the more charming quirks of Kat, aside from the aforementioned, is her love of horticulture – like how can you be that beautiful, trend-setting, and have time to tend to care about your garden? Naturally, Kat can't just be like the rest of the plant moms, differentiating herself by having a garden solely dedicated to black flowers and plants.
Black Sunflower - I know I’ve posted blooms of this flower in the past, but man, these black beauties never get old! 🖤
Here’s one of my Black Bearded Iris in mid-bloom. 🖤
BLACK PANSY [viola x wittrockiana] 🖤 I know I’ve posted my black pansies before but man! after the recent rain, these ladies are popping up like crazy and partyin’!
BLACK ADDER “SOOTY” FLOWER [dianthus barbatus nigrescens] 🖤 These black beauties are super easy to grow from seed. They come from the Carnation family but in miniature form. As you can see, mine is just now starting to blossom, but soon the entire cluster will be exploding with these little black blooms!
Black Bachelor Button Flowers. 🖤 I know I posted a shot of the very first one of these that bloomed a little while back, but clusters have been blooming like crazy, so I had to include these black beauties in this garden update. *and like most black plants, these guys get blacker the more sun they get. 🖤

Panda-Face "Ling Ling" Ginger flower [asarum maximum] 🖤 Zoom in on this photo and note the velvety texture of the petals! This flower is not culinary ginger but is referred to as “ginger” for its scent when crushed.
Black Star Calla Lily 🖤
Pennie Black flower [Nemophila Discoidalos] - also nicknamed “Baby Black Eyes.” They are the cutest little black flowers ever - this bloom is the size of a pea!
Black Peony Poppy [papaver somniferum] - this little bud is about to bloom into a large, tissue-paper like a ruffled explosion! **and yes, I’ll make sure to post the bloom in the next garden update! 🖤
Black "FloraMia Nero" vine. 🖤 The same family as the "black heart" vine I posted a little while back, but these guys have tiny lavender trumpets that bloom every now and then. If you can look past the lavender flowers, this vine is perfect for your black garden!
“Black Rose” succulent. 🖤
Lonely little black petunia from our black garden came out to say hello today. 🖤

“Queen of the Night” Black Tulips 🖤
Widow’s Pincushion flower [scabiosa atropurpurea]🖤 One of my personal faves from the garden. This one is about to bloom its needle-like petals any day now.
Black "Dark Dimension" Hyacinth. 🖤 Last time I posted a garden update this baby was just starting to show herself, so I thought I’d share her progress with you!
Black "Landini" Lily. 🖤 These black beauties I grew from bulbs. After seeing them bloom for the first time this week, they are quickly becoming one of my fave lilies. 🖤
Black Dahlia. 🖤 I never grow tired of these black beauties.
