Dahlia 'Black Satin'
 
Type: ball
Colour:  Deep burgundy
Height: 1.2m
Productivity: great producer
Tuber storage: great
Reflowering: great
 
Notes: 'Black Satin' is a super productive burgundy dahlia, that I have grown for many years.  It can be very vigourous, and can produce huge amounts of foliage, if not pinched and cut deeply.  If grown in full sun and not over feed with nitrogen (stimulates leaf production) it blooms prolifically too!
 
Note, the colour is more accurate in the second photograph of the single bloom.
