Hollyhill Black Beauty was bred in United States by Connell in 2003. Near-black blooms, deep burgundy at the core and dark at the edges, with a velvety texture that reads as shadow in any arrangement. Among the darkest dahlias available anywhere, it won the ADS Stanley Johnson Medal in 2021. It also holds its form on the show bench.
