Just when we thought our succulent obsession [2] couldn't possibly grow any more, we've just made an urgent discovery that's sending us into a plant-loving frenzy. Black succulents exist, guys, and they're the perfect home decor addition to match our cold, dark souls.
This species of succulent is known as Sinocrassula yunnanensis [3], a type that features densely packed clumps of rosettes. Its pointed leaves (which somewhat resemble mini pine cones or hedgehogs) are typically a dark green hue, but that color is often so dark that it actually looks more like black than green.

So where can you purchase these rare beauties? A few Etsy retailers, namely Succulent Cafes [6] and Walawala Studio [7], sell the plants online, or you could check with your local gardening store to see if it sells them. We think these one-of-a-kind succulents would look oh so chic in a marble planter [8] filled with white pebbles . . . or, if you're feeling extradark, you could go for one of our favorite skull-shaped planters [9] instead.
