A velvet confession in living form.
The Melanochrysum unfurls long, velvety heart-shaped leaves that deepen into black-gold tones, turning any room into a quiet gallery of softness. Slow-growing, elegant, and deeply expressive, it rewards steady care with dramatic new leaves that shimmer when the light finds them. A statement climber for collectors who appreciate intentional, unhurried beauty.
