A fascinating mix of dark, intricately-shaped flowers

A fascinating mix of dark, intricately-shaped flowers inspired by Medieval European art and architecture. Grow your very own Gothic cathedral with the ribbed vaults of blood-red Dracula Celosia and the delicate stained-glass petals of deeply-hued Scabiosa; your hard work will attract a devout following of butterflies and bees. And don't forget to add a garden gargoyle for good measure. Let your emo inner child delight in these velvety black, plum, and burgundy blooms.

This flower mix includes Dracula Celosia, Black Knight Scabiosa, Black Button Centaurea, 'Sooty' Dianthus barbatus and Penny Black Nemophila.

Growing instructions

Shallowly sow seeds indoors in individual pots, 1-2 per cell. For best results, start in late winter, 6-8 weeks before last frost. As the sprouts put on their first true leaves, you will be able to distinguish them from each other. Transplant outdoors after threat of frost is past, making sure to plant a good mix of seedlings for balanced bouquets. The tall plants may require some staking and support to remain upright and produce the best quality flowers. If started in winter for spring transplant, the full mix will bloom within the first year; any later and Dianthus 'Sooty' will bloom in the following year, with the rest of the mix blooming in year one.

We got a couple blue, pink and white flowers like shown. Nothing black or Gothic looking . Definitely nothing like what’s shown on the seed packet.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. Can you please send us the Lot Number from the seed pack. We will get to the bottom of this for you and do what we can to make it right. Please send that Lot Number to us at mail@hudsonvalleyseed.com

I ordered & planted these seeds several years ago, and nothing ever really grew. That area sadly has become over run with weeds in between hostas & forget me nots. Suddenly today, I was out watering the gardens and caught this beauty out of the corner of my eye! I thought, the only time I planted anything that color was that art pack mix from Hudson Valley Seed Co.
Well here she is… one beautiful dianthus! All other seeds I had ordered germinated & grew well. Maybe I just didn’t give the seeds enough attention when I first planted them.

This mix worked wonderfully with the winter sowing method in PNW. I did start the celosia inside and it is behind the winter sowing stuff. If you love burgundy flowers this is the blend for you.

Love the colors!

I didn’t expect so many seeds to germinate that I ran out of room! Wonderful blooms with rich beautiful colors. A little goes along way with these seeds. I highly recommend them. Not to mention the beautiful art packets.

Love the art! Can’t wait to plant my garden!

I think every single seed in this mix germinated from container planting this spring! I have to get them all in the ground soon! What an interesting mix! I wish I knew if they're perennials or annuals but I'm very impressed with the health of the seedlings!

Arrived quickly in great condition

Beautiful packaging! Cant wait to plant them.

Looking forward to planting these! I'm always looking for something different and this mix definitely fits the bill! I've planted Sweet William Nigracans before and love them.

Great little packet with a variety of seeds

No germination.

Haven’t planted it yet can’t wait but fast shipping

I love these flowers. I’m planting the seeds this weekend.

I got them for a friend and she's very excited to plant them!

Gorgeous packaging.

these did not work at all. i was so excited to get these goth garden seeds and the first time i ordered, my package never even arrived. the company sent a replacement and not a single one of the seeds germinated. I planted them in multiple places: some in my aero garden, some in starter pots with soil, and some on a paper towel, but not any of the seeds turned into seedlings. i’m not sure if i got a bad batch or something but i am so disappointed, a waste of money

Hello Noreen,
Thank you for ordering with us and sorry to hear that you are having trouble with germinating our seeds. We are glad that you did receive the replacement package for the first order that was lost in the mail.
Secondly, I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulty with germination. We haven't had any other reports of poor germination with the Goth Garden Flower Mix, and we do test our seed stock 2-3 times per year to ensure a high germination rate. Yet, despite our commitment to testing and quality, seeds are alive and sometimes have their own trajectories and ideas. I am passing along this information to our seed tester so that we can recheck this seed's viability.

We will be reaching out to you directly so that we can remedy your growth issue.
Thanks,
Hudson Valley Seed Co.

I love the quality of the seeds and print that I ordered. I can't wait to see what everything looks like when it blooms.

To tell the truth, I won’t plant until next spring. I have had good luck with Hudson Valley seeds in the past so am confident I will be pleased with these. AND I have to confess that I love the artistic renderings! Definitely a draw in buying these.
