Verrone’s Obsidian is a burgundy, orchid-type dahlia—so deeply saturated it reads almost black. The petals darken with age, and one could argue they are truly black at times. This is a fun variety to have, with so much design potential: pair it with other dark reds for a moody, cohesive palette, or set it against all-white or pale-pink blooms for dramatic contrast. If you aren’t already on the orchid train, hop on—no other dahlia form pops more in an arrangement than the orchid types.
