Verrone's Obsidian is a dramatic orchid-type dahlia celebrated for its deepest, near-black star-shaped blooms. The 4-5 inch flowers feature slender petals that curl slightly inward, creating a sculptural, high-contrast silhouette. The velvety, inky tones give this variety a moody elegance that feels both modern and unforgettable in the garden and vase.
Plants form medium-sized, well-branched growth and reach maturity in approximately 80-100 days. Strong stems support abundant blooms throughout the season. As an open-centered form, Verrone's Obsidian is pollinator-friendly and especially attractive to bees harvest blooms when young for optimal vase life and reduced insect visitation.
Its deep black-purple tones pair beautifully with blush, dusty rose, creamy ivory, muted plum, soft peach, and jewel-toned palettes. It integrates seamlessly into dramatic wedding work, contemporary bouquet design, and high-contrast seasonal arrangements.
