Black Satin
The description is correct. These are very strong plants and filled in my 10 foot row quickly. These are notably hardy, and not only good in the north, but did well in southwest Missouri during exceptional drought and record breaking heat. I recommend these highly, especially for challenging weather conditions. Very hardy and beautiful plants. Thank you.
