Black Forest Ruby
Dahlia Seeds
Dahlia pinnata
Fleuroselect Gold Medal Winner and All-America Selections Winner. Black Forest Ruby dahlias have striking black leaves and stems, creating a dramatic background for the 2½-3½ in. flowers in multiple jewel-tone shades of red. Disease-free, bushy, 20-27 in. tall and 10-12 in. wide plants have a uniform upright growth habit and don't need staking. The semi-double and double blooms begin in mid summer and keep going well into the fall. Elegant in mixed or solo container plantings, beautiful in borders and garden beds. For the darkest foliage, grow Black Forest Ruby dahlias in full sun.
Growing Black Forest Ruby Dahlia Seeds
Plant Dahlia Seeds: Sow seed in cell packs or 2 in. pots, press into soil and barely cover. Kept at 75°F., germination is in 7-20 days. Transplant into the garden 12 in. apart for dwarf dahlias, and 24 to 36 in. apart for tall dahlias.
Grow Dahlia: Full sun, prefers afternoon shade in hot, dry climates. Keep soil moist, water deeply 2-3 times per week. Flowers attract butterflies, and are excellent for cutting. Plants are deer resistant, may be damaged when access to regular food or water is limited. Tubers are dug in autumn, stored for the winter, planted the following spring.
