$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Dahlia ‘Verrone’s Obsidian’ produces deep maroon‑near‑black blooms in the orchid form, defined by star‑shaped petals that flare outward and curl slightly at the tips to create a sculptural, open silhouette. Each flower features a glowing yellow center that stands out against the dark petals and highlights the depth of color. Blooming begins in midsummer and continues through the first frosts of autumn, offering an extended season of dramatic floral interest. The dark, rich petals and bold center make ‘Verrone’s Obsidian’ particularly effective in cut arrangements and shadowy border positions where its intense hue and form can command attention.

    Dahlias are generally low-maintenance. They do best in well-draining soil and prefer full sun for optimal growth and flowering. Tubers can be planted outside after the last frost. Nourish with a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established.

    Throughout the growing season, provide regular watering, support for tall varieties, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Harvest blossoms when buds are 3/4 open.
