SelectaOne photo New City Lights Dahlia Series is an easy-to-grow flowering powerhouse with dramatically dark foliage. The Venti series from SelectaOne is a vigorous, anemone-type dahlia suitable for large containers or planting directly in the garden. The City Lights series, also from SelectaOne, is especially notable for its dramatically dark, greenish-purple foliage which at times almost looks black. The rich ruby red flowers of City Lights Red have vivid colour saturation. Somewhat shorter than the Venti series, City Lights has a height and spread of 30 to 36 cm.
