About this plant

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.
