Dahlia Sellwood Glory

Dahlia Sellwood Glory is a dramatic heirloom treasure, its petals a striking ensemble of deep, raisin-purple brushed over a silvery base that transitions into crisp, snow-white tips. Bred by Richard Beyerle in the historic Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, and introduced in 1950, this formal decorative variety was once nearly lost to time before being lovingly rediscovered. Each bloom is a study in high-contrast elegance, with velvety mahogany-purple layers that feel like a regal tapestry woven into the garden’s late-season landscape.

Blooms: 15 – 20 cm
Height: 90 – 120cm

Grower: Beyerle, J. Richard (USA) , 1950

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.
