Dahlia Sylvia aka Maarn

Dahlia ‘Sylvia’ is a stunning ball dahlia that boasts gorgeous pumpkin-orange blooms, making it a perfect choice for adding warmth and color to any garden. This variety is known for its curvaceous petals that form a beautifully spherical shape, typical of ball dahlias. ‘Sylvia’ is a prolific bloomer, producing a profusion of golden-orange flowers on long, strong stems that are pencil-thick or even thicker, making them ideal for cutting without disturbing the plant’s foliage.

A favorite, particularly as summer transitions into fall, where its warm orange hue complements seasonal arrangements, especially when paired with white and orange pumpkins. ‘Sylvia’ is excellent for planting in the middle to back of the border, providing a continuous burst of color throughout the summer and into the autumn. With its impressive stem length and abundant blooms, ‘Sylvia’ is not only a showstopper in the garden but also a fantastic option for creating beautiful, long-lasting cut flower arrangements.
