Description

Dramatic and elegant, these are the darkest blooms in the dahlia world we’ve come across yet. The petals are so deeply shaded they appear almost black, creating an extraordinary contrast with the golden-yellow center that seems to glow from within. Its long, sturdy stems make it a standout for cutting gardens, perfect for creating striking floral arrangements. The rich, forest green foliage provides a stunning backdrop, enhancing the dark beauty of each flower. This variety is not only a visual masterpiece, but also a hardy grower, thriving in full sun and adding a bold, luxurious touch to the garden. Whether for bouquets or simply to be admired, this dahlia is a true beauty. (Don’t forget that both the dahlia flowers and tubers are edible, adding a unique touch to culinary creations.)
