Grafted onto vigorous Fortuniana rootstock, Black Baccara® delivers enhanced vigor, larger plants, and outstanding performance in warm climates.

Black Baccara® produces elegant, high-centered blooms in an incredibly rich shade of deep burgundy to near-black crimson, with the darkest coloration developing during cooler weather.
