'Penhill Dark Monarch' Dinnerplate Dahlia | Blue Buddha Farm

Penhill Dark Monarch is a breathtaking dinnerplate dahlia celebrated for its enormous blooms, moody tones, and unforgettable movement. Each colossal flower—often 10 inches or more across—unfurls in sweeping layers of deep plum, smoky mauve, antique rose, and velvety wine, creating a rich, moody palette that looks almost mythical in the garden. The long, twisting petals give every bloom a windswept, sculptural shape—wild, regal, and elegantly untamed.

This variety thrives in full sun and produces tall, sturdy stems perfect for cutting. From midsummer until frost, Penhill Dark Monarch delivers a dramatic flush of blooms that photographers, gardeners, and floral designers adore. Its color shifts beautifully with the light, often showing multiple tones within a single flower—making it a true statement piece in bouquets and arrangements.

Luxurious, artistic, and undeniably dramatic, Penhill Dark Monarch is the jewel of any dahlia collection, bringing deep, romantic beauty to every garden space.

Each order includes 1 premium tuber.
