Garden Variety Stunners

I grow a lot of dahlias for production purposes but even I keep a few varieties around simply because they make you go — Ohhhh look at that! So here are my top garden variety stunners! These will make all your visitors stop and stare!

Hollyhill Black Beauty- my favorite burgundy dahlia- is she as productive as others, no- but she’s worth it! The fluffy skirt her petals make as she opens is to die for!

Hapet Champagne- So. Many. Petals! And her color change is fun- starts off soft yellow with a pinky center in high heat and then goes to peachy perfection with pink highlights as the weather cools.

Hilltop Lost Treasure- This is a dahlia that you need to see in person. That’s what several people told me after our Dahlia Days Tour- Hilltop Lost Treasure totally changed their mind about semi-cactus dahlias. I love her twisty cactus like petals! She has a great color fade too- very vibrant in the field and then fades to more muted tones in the vase - it’s beautiful!

Tahoma Curve- It thrives in warm climate gardens. It really keeps up with the heat, produces blooms regularly and has beautiful coloring
