A deep, moody burgundy that borders on wine or black, Black Satin is the perfect variety for ushering in the autumn season. These ball-form dahlias sit atop tall, 5.5 to 6-foot plants with impressively sturdy stems, making them fabulous for cutting. While it is a late-season bloomer, its dramatic color provides a striking contrast in late-summer and fall arrangements for those who don't mind the wait.
