Dark purple, near black petals inwardly curve to create a star-like point surrounding a bright yellow centre with Dahlia ‘Verrone’s Obsidian’. A magnificent variety of cartwheel or star-type dahlia, it flowers so profusely it appears like a constellation of stars.
Adding depth and velvety dark hues to the brightness of the summer garden, it is an unforgettable sight that pairs well with a range of grasses to add contrasting texture and movement. It is also the perfect addition to a dark display or jewel-like tones. With a dazzling yellow centre, this flower not only looks incredible but also acts as a magnet for bees and other pollinators, adding to the biodiversity of your garden.
A versatile and unusual dahlia variety, it looks wonderful planted in a container, flower beds and borders, but also makes a breathtaking cut flower to enjoy in floral displays around the home as well.
