Near-black heart-shaped leaves with a soft charcoal-purple undertone.

Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Jet Black™ is a sun- to part-sun-tolerant annual grown for its deep foliage color and trailing habit, bringing contrast and coverage to containers and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

  • Adding strong dark contrast to mixed containers
  • Softening edges with trailing foliage
  • Groundcover in warm, sunny beds
  • Pairing with whites, chartreuse, or bright flowers
  • Filling space with fast, spreading growth

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The foliage reads close to true black, but up close shows a soft charcoal-purple cast that keeps it from feeling flat. The rounded, heart-shaped leaves give it a cleaner, softer look compared to more jagged varieties. It spreads quickly, fills in evenly, and creates a dark base that makes surrounding colors stand out.
