About this variety

Dahlia Black Jack is a striking dahlia variety known for its dramatic and elegant dark burgundy to almost black blossoms. With its rich, deep color, this dahlia adds a touch of sophistication and intrigue to gardens and floral arrangements.

Why We Like It

  • Dark and Dramatic: The deep burgundy to black blooms of Black Jack create a bold and captivating focal point in any setting.
  • Late-Summer Beauty: It blooms late in the summer, extending the season of vibrant color in your garden.
  • Versatile in Arrangements: Its dark, luxurious flowers are excellent for creating eye-catching bouquets and floral designs.

What to Know

  • Soil and Sun: Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade for the best growth and flowering.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during hot and dry periods.
  • Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain the plant's appearance.
  • Overwintering: In colder climates, dig up tubers before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place during the winter.

When to buy and plant

Buy summer-flowering bulbs in spring. Plant according to the variety’s instructions; tender varieties may need to be started under cover and planted out only after frost risk has passed.

Planting and growing

Choose a position and compost suited to the variety. Follow the pack for planting depth, spacing and whether it suits a container or a border.

Aftercare

Water as needed and feed according to the variety’s guidance. Some plants need support. Check whether bulbs or tubers should be lifted, dried and stored frost-free over winter.
