Dahlia Dear Alexander

Dahlia Dear Alexander enters the garden like a shifting sunset sky. It glows with an ever-changing palette, beginning as a rich butter-yellow at its core before softening into warm, romantic outer layers of peach and salmon-orange, all anchored by dramatic pinstripes and a concentrated heart of deep burgundy and plum. This informal decorative marvel unfolds with a loose, painterly grace, its layered petals curving into an elegant geometric harmony that feels both classic and free-flowing. Introduced in the United Kingdom by breeder George Powley in 1999, this prize-winning cultivar stands proud on long, iron-strong stems, anchoring its chameleon-like beauty in a robust, highly prolific nature that thrives from early summer until the autumn frosts arrive.

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.
