mold if you consider it a plant - it's a fungi.

Among naturally occurring plants, two immediately come to mind which do not
need light for food production. One is a saprophyte (feeds on dead plant
material) called Indian pipes and grows in woodlands. It looks like a
fungus but has flowers! Another is a parasite called dodder which also has
no green color because it gets nourishment from living plants. I saw both of
these plants during a trip to the North Carolina mountains, but they are widely
distributed. I have also worked with a single-celled plant called Chlamydomonas
which can grow in the dark if given a carbon source, and even turn green, since
it has a light-independent chlorophyll synthesis pathway.
So there are plants which can grow without light, but even they probably will
need some light to develop normally.

Any plant grows in the dark, they just need sunlight to provide certain nutrients.
You can grow asparagus in the dark and will be white as opposed to green as the darkness does not provide the chlorophyll that makes plants green.

I can suggest a plant that requires very, very little light. The only name I know is "Mother-in-Law Tongue". It's in the cactus family and even indirect sunlight damages it. It might also be called a "snake plant". Another benefit is that it requires watering only about 2x a month.

certain molds and fungi don't need sunlight (for photosynthesis) but almost all plants do to survive......other than molds or fungi i can't think of any others that can survive without sunlight.
there are mushrooms and such that grow in dim light but not in complete darkness.

I think you can put geraniums and pointsetias in a dark place after their season is over ..and they will come back to life when you return them in the spring.I am not absolutely sure ..so be careful.
