| − | + | My favorite garden plant among my dark scape introductions. Not quite as dark scaped or pale flowered as its sibling [[Army of Darkness]], and not as tall as sibling [[Darkness Rising]], but with a wonderful saturated melon color that can verges on pumpkin and a green throat. The dark scapes have 4 branches and 33 buds, and there is a strong red stripe on the sepal reverses. Halloween Darkness will add a lot of excitement to your garden because the dark scapes and the first flowers appear very early, preceding Stella De Oro. Likely rust resistant. Gorgeous and distinctive!|d=My favorite garden plant among my dark scape introductions.
