Product Overview
Dark Spirit Ball Dahlia is a dramatic, eye-catching variety known for its perfectly rounded, ball-shaped blooms in deep burgundy to near-black tones. The tightly arranged petals create a symmetrical, globe-like flower that adds rich contrast and elegance to summer garden displays. Each 6-inch pot contains 2–3 well-established plants, producing a fuller, more immediate floral presentation ideal for containers, patios, borders, and cutting gardens.
This variety offers bold, moody color that pairs beautifully with soft pinks, whites, and bright summer annuals.
