This beautiful and unusual Dahlia also known as Star or Single Orchid Dahlia has deep red, almost black petals, the depth of their colour enhanced by its startling bright yellow centre. Verrone's Obsidian can be used to electrify your beds and borders, pair with zesty yellows for an eye popping display, or, if a sultry look is prepared arrange with deep burgundy's and purple flowers such as Astrantia Washfield and Hemerocallis Whoopy. Thrives in full sun and preferably in humus-rich, fertile, moist but well drained soil. They will need protection in winter, cover in milder climates or in colder areas lift and store for next year. First grade tubers supplied.
