A dramatic late-season standout, ‘After Dark’ features near-black foliage topped with dense, deep burgundy-red flower clusters in late summer to fall. The bold color contrast and sturdy, upright habit make it an excellent choice for adding structure and rich color when many perennials are winding down. Drought tolerant and easy to grow once established.
