I’d say that if the black part is squishy, it’s rotting and trim it off. Rotting could be from pest damage, sitting in water/damp soil too long, Sun scorch, or disease. Could also not have fertilized completely or correctly. It happens to the first few blooms.
If it’s not soft and just a weird black color, it looks like there may be a need for fertilizer? I don’t know. Never seen black that wasn’t rot 😅. Good luck! Don’t forget to feed it regularly with either compost or fish emulsion!
