Dahlia Haven’s Raspberry Beret

Dahlia Haven’s Raspberry Beret enters the garden with an electric, theatrical flair, showing off a striking collarette-type structure that commands immediate attention. Its broad outer petals are saturated in a luscious, deep raspberry-pink to magenta, providing a bold backdrop for a whimsical, ruffled inner collar of smaller, icy-pink and white-tipped petals. At its core, a wide, textured central disc radiates a rich, honey-amber and golden-yellow glow. Bred in New Zealand by Linda Brown of Dahlia Haven, this open-centered variety serves as an irresistible, highly accessible sanctuary for local pollinators, as beautifully illustrated by the bustling bumblebee gathering nectar in your photograph.

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.
