DAHLIA NIGHT SILENCE

Dahlia ‘Night Silence’

Dark as velvet at dusk, ‘Night Silence’ opens perfectly sculpted blooms in saturated black-plum—petals so deep they read almost inky in cool light and rich wine in the sun. The flowers hold a polished, rounded silhouette on long, straight stems, bringing moody elegance to the field and unforgettable drama to the vase. A steady producer from midseason on, it’s the dark note that makes every palette sing.

Planting & Growing Guide

Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-draining soil. Plant tubers after all danger of frost, 4–6″ deep and 12–18″ apart depending on variety size. Pinch plants at ~12″ tall to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Provide sturdy support for taller stems. Water consistently (avoid waterlogging) and deadhead to extend the season. In cooler regions, lift tubers after frost, cure, and store in a cool, dry place for replanting next year.
