Dahlias with Dark Flowers or Foliage

Amid the vast array of Dahlias are select varieties that produce dark blossoms and/or foliage. The foliage tones can range from dark reddish-green to almost-black. Dark Dahlia blossoms span a velvety spectrum from ripe cherry red to nearly obsidian. Whether a plant produces dark foliage and flowers or one or the other, each variety adds considerable drama and contrast to gardens and floral arrangements. Gathered here are some of our favorites.
