Wiki Draft

Daniels Nursery listed Black Opal in 1950 among “Ten Extra Choice Phlox,” in a hardy perennial catalog section, not as a fruit crop. The catalog describes it only as “Deep maroon, shaded to black.” [S1]

The available source does not document fruit, edible use, parentage, breeder, release date, hardiness zone, or growing habit for Black Opal. The only supported trait is its flower color: very dark maroon tending toward black. [S1]
