La Recoleta is a formal decorative dahlia renowned as one of the darkest varieties available, with velvety black-red or near-black blooms.​  Flowers measure about 4" across, featuring fully double, small dark red petals that appear almost black, creating dramatic contrast. The rich, prolific blooms emerge early and continue through fall.​  Plants reach 36-48" tall with mid-green leaves and long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting.​  Perfect for borders, bouquets, and cutting gardens, it pairs strikingly with lighter colors and offers excellent vase life.
