Dahlia Cornel

Cornel is widely considered one of the best red varieties available. It features rich, velvety, dark cherry-red blooms with perfectly symmetrical petals and a slightly darker center. The small, ball-shaped flowers appear in abundance from midsummer until frost, standing out beautifully against dark green foliage.

This variety grows up to 48 inches (120 cm) tall and produces long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its weather-resistant blooms last exceptionally well in arrangements, making ‘Cornel’ a top choice for both garden displays and bouquets. The flowers pair especially well with late-season asters and ornamental grasses for a striking late summer effect.

Blooms: 7 – 10cm
Height: 90 – 120cm

Grower: Geerlings Dahlias (Netherlands), 1992

Dahlias should be planted after the risk of frost has passed and will continue to bloom from early summer until mid-autumn. For optimal growth and flowering, choose a sunny spot to plant the tubers, as Dahlias thrive in full sun.
