Dahlia 'Black Jack'

Lovers of deep, dark, velvety blooms will simply not be able to resist the dramatic Dahlia 'Black Jack'. One of the darkest, near-black Dahlia varieties available, 'Black Jack's sensational colour is intensified by the striking cactus dahlia shape – with a wealth of spiky petals radiating out from its almost-black heart. And if the flowerheads weren’t eye catching enough, this variety features a really unusual foliage colour, rarely seen on a dahlia – dark green leaves are contrasted by deep red veining and stem!

The buds, too, are large and sculptural – so with its statuesque height, Dahlia 'Black Jack' is hard to beat for providing architectural interest in your garden. Grow it alongside silvery foliage in a stylish, contemporary scheme, or contrast with brighter colours to add real depth to your summer display.
