Dahlia Holland Festival

Dahlia Holland Festival enters the garden like a joyous, sun-drenched carnival. It glows with a celebratory ombre palette of rich salmon-orange, apricot, and fiery peach, where each broad petal is tipped with a crisp, contrasting splash of snowy white. This spectacular decorative variety folds outward into an enormous, double-layered dinnerplate form. Its slightly incurved petals layer over one another with a lush, sweeping symmetry, creating a massive, festive starburst that hides its central disc completely. Cultivated in the Netherlands and honored with the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, this robust performer commands the back of borders. It stands strong against the summer heat, demanding deep staking early on to support its heavy, exhibition-sized blooms on sturdy stems from midsummer until the first frost.

Blooms: 20 – 25+ cm

Grower: Bruidegom, D. (Netherlands) , 1960

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.
