Black Parrot is kept as a source-labelled record for a dark, ruffled flower. The colour phrase remains descriptive, and the irregular petal form deserves the same careful context as the name.

Dark colour is a relationship
A deep flower can look black in shade and purple in open light. The surrounding foliage, weather and opening stage shape the impression, so the record keeps the colour phrase rather than pretending it is a measured value.
The photograph is an original garden scene. It is not used to infer registration, breeder, year or fragrance.
Use the ruffle with restraint
A dark parrot flower can anchor a late border when it has a calm background and enough room for the petals to unfold. The Parrot guide guide discusses the form, while garden plan helps place it in a larger sequence.
