Dahlia 'Dark Spirit'

Velvety, near-black blooms give Dahlia 'Dark Spirit' undeniable drama in the garden. Its perfectly rounded, pompom flowers in deep burgundy tones stand out vividly against fresh green foliage, creating a bold focal point. Flowering just as other plants begin to fade in late summer, it takes centre stage and keeps the show going right through to the first frosts. The rich, velvety blooms elevate a broad spectrum of colour palettes – adding contrast to soft pastel shades or providing a dark foil to vibrant reds, orange and magenta. Strong stems and a long vase life also make it superb for cut flowers, bringing dark drama to indoor arrangements. Ultimate height: 70cm to 1m (27in - 3.2ft). Ultimate spread: 30cm to 50cm (12 - 20in).
