Orange Globe: Why do they call this orange?

Why do they call this orange? That’s always the first question when people see an Orange Globe dahlia. It’s definitely not what you would think of as orange.

It’s like calling purple flowers blue! Anyways…..

No matter what you call it, Orange Globe is beautiful! I love it because it’s a nice big dahlia- really has some presence to it! The color is perfect for fall- goes with so many other varieties and pretty much anything you would have blooming in your garden August through October! It’s heat tolerant, easy to grow and a must have!
