Description
If you love sunset shades then you’ll be pleased to know you can flaunt three of the hottest hues with Dahlia 'Tricolor'—each double bloom is formed of multiple wholes of petals in an ombre of vibrant pink, coral orange and fiery yellow. Intense tones like this are perfect for summer, particularly on bright days when the flowers stay vibrant in the sun. Then, just wait for the sundown moment when they positively glow! The vivid Dahlia 'Tricolor' is prolific and will treat you to continuous colour through summer. The stems are long too, which is perfect if you enjoy putting together fabulous florals for indoors.
Whether you like to grow a whole range of colours in your garden or prefer to stick to a theme, Dahlia 'Tricolor' combines well with a spectrum of other colours of a similar intensity. Try pairing this with vivid purple or blue flowers for a pleasing contrast, or mingle among plants in other sunny shades to create a hot planting scheme. If lush, leafy plantings are more your cup of tea, the exotic colours of Dahlia 'Tricolor' flowers can be just what’s needed to turn that jungle into tropical paradise!
Looking for some razzmatazz among the roses? A sashay of spice amidst the sedate? Dahlia 'Tricolor' delivers an extravaganza of colour, texture, and splendor, proving once and for all that in the garden variety show, it's the tricoloured starlet that takes the final bow and the gardener's heart. Plant it, pamper it, and prepare for ovations to your green-thumbed artistry. Feast your eyes on the botanical beau of the ball, the dashing Dahlia 'Tricolor'!
