Reviews

The Penhill Dark Monarch Dahlia is a dramatic and striking variety, prized for its deep, rich colors and large, bold blooms. This dahlia features dark, burgundy-red petals with a subtle touch of purple, creating a striking contrast that makes the flower appear almost velvety. The petals are spiky and slightly curved, giving the flower a dramatic, star-like appearance, which adds to its visual impact.

The blooms can reach 8 to 10 inches in diameter, making them truly dinner-plate-sized and perfect for adding a bold statement to your garden or floral arrangements. The full, rounded shape of the flowers adds volume and texture, with the deep, rich color becoming even more intense as the flower matures.

The Penhill Dark Monarch Dahlia typically grows to about 4 to 5 feet in height, with sturdy, upright stems that support its large, heavy blooms well. Its compact and bushy growth habit makes it ideal for garden beds, borders, or as a standout cut flower.

This variety blooms profusely throughout the late summer and autumn, providing a long-lasting burst of dark color that contrasts beautifully with lighter-toned flowers. The Penhill Dark Monarch Dahlia is a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking to create a bold, eye-catching focal point or for those who love the drama of deep, rich tones in their garden.

Rosebie founded The Real Flower Company in 1999 with a vision to grow and sell beautiful scented flowers, whilst placing provenance, sustainability, and good business ethics into all the company does. The lamentable lack of scent in most cut flowers inspired Rosebie to create The Real Flower Company so that our customers could experience the joy of fragrant English flowers, herbs and foliage
