Dahlia 'Dark Spirit'

Introduce contrast to your planting schemes with blooms from the dahlia dark side, such as those of bewitching Dahlia 'Dark Spirit'. The near-black loose pompon flowers of this shadowy number are exquisitely formed and the darkness of the petals is so alluring. It’s a prolific variety which typically exudes a generous quantity of gloriously dark blooms through the season. You'll notice their intense, almost black colour from afar, and find the flower form is a detailed masterpiece to admire close up too. Use Dahlia 'Dark Spirit' to highlight the colours in your garden and add depth to your displays.

Flowering from summer right into autumn, combine Dahlia 'Dark Spirit' with dusky orange and red for a cosy, warm laste-season display. On the flip side, near-black being a very versatile colour, it combines just as well with bright pinks and purples as well as soft pastels! Dahlia 'Dark Spirit', like most other dahlias, is not only powerful in the garden but also a fantastic cut flower. The blooms last well, have a good stem length and it's very abundant. Once this black ball dahlia gets going, you can cut the flowers to create indoor arrangements and still leave plenty to enjoy on the plant.
