Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tall, dark, and handsome, this 'Black Prince' offers up armful after armful of ruffled, semi-cactus blooms of deep, dark burgundy that are just the right size for bouquets. (Try it with 'Andries Orange', if you dare.) We grow lots of great dahlias here, but this one seems to be on everybody's list of favorites. Reintroduced by us in 2004 from the UK National Collection.
