Even the stems are dark purple, rising above bronze-purple leaves that can appear almost black in certain light. \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Purple Flame' brings a wonderful combination of colour and texture to the summer garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a particularly beautiful contrast, pair \u003ci\u003eDahlia\u003c\/i\u003e 'Purple Flame' with lime-green foliage, silver-leaved plants or soft pink cosmos.
