Description:
Night Silence is an alluring, moody dahlia known for its velvety plum-to-mauve petals and soft silvery edges. Each bloom has remarkable tonal depth, transitioning from rich, dark centers to dusky lavender highlights. Its dramatic coloring adds an elegant contrast in the garden or bouquet, pairing beautifully with blush, ivory, or deep burgundy flowers.
Compact but prolific, Night Silence produces strong stems and reliable blooms throughout late summer into fall. It thrives in sunny beds and performs exceptionally well as a cut flower thanks to its sturdy structure and generous bloom production.
Growing & Cut Notes:
Space plants 12 – 18 inches apart for airflow and vigor.
Pinch when plants reach 12 inches tall to promote branching.
Harvest when flowers are about three-quarters open for longest vase life.
Provide light staking in windy areas or when plants are heavy with blooms.
Lift and store tubers after frost in cooler climates to overwinter.
Best For:
Moody, vintage, or autumn-inspired arrangements; dramatic contrast in pastel bouquets; garden plantings with rich, deep color palettes.
