Black Satin
This Dahlia, produces striking dark red almost black compact formal decorative 4" blooms. Her blooms were quite dramatic in arrangements where the deep red almost black coloration really stands out in the fall bouquets.The plant grows to 60" and spreads so make sure you stake her! We started to wake her up in March here in Mid-Michigan and she produced 3 cuttings and the tuber for established plants in mid-May. We averaged 11 tubers per plant. Wer sold out our stock in 2024 and pocurred new stock from Two Dog Farm to grow in 2025. We hope to have this available for cut flowers in 2025 and tubers in 2026.
Product Info
During the winter months, tubers are stored in a dormant state. Depending on the tuber variety, weather, and availability of storage medium, we store in plastic wrap, or in vermiculate. We wake our tubers in February and March. This allows us to start our plants early so we have more mature plants that flower earlier during the Michigan growing season. We also propogate cuttings to increase stock. If you would like tubers earlier in the spring we offer pick-up at the farm.
Return & Refund Policy
We are a boutique specialty cut flower farm. We take care to ship tubers with visible eyes and no growth limiting damage. Tubers are living storage stems and can get a little dry (and wrinkle) and or get a small bit soft to the touch. Each variety handles winter storage differently and wakes at it's own pace. We will not send tubers if we are not confident in their viability and the presence of an eye or sprout. If you have a concern, please contact us immediately with a photograph. Our tubers and flowers are meant to bring happiness. We will work with you to resolve any concerns.
Shipping Info
Tubers can be shipped in late spring without a threat of freezing. Shipping is risky from November to April. We will ship via priority mail in April.
