Dark and Macabre Seeds for Gothic Spring Flower Gardens

It’s time to think about starting our seeds indoors for this year’s goth gardens!

Here are some of my favorite dark and dreary seeds I’m thinking of starting. Keep in mind that there are no true black or true blue flowers – those are usually actually a dark purple. I like to use a lot of red, crimson and scarlet flowers in my gothic garden. Sometimes I’ll border them in white, to suggest innocence about to be lost!
