Ambition is pure electric drama—vivid magenta-purple blooms unfurl in a whirl of spiky, semi-cactus petals that look sculpted for a runway. Each 6 to 8-inch flower radiates bold color and dynamic personality, a breathtaking statement against deep green, compact foliage. Despite their showstopping looks, the blooms rise tall on sturdy stems and never flop, even after heavy rain.

Bloom size: 6–8 inches wide

If you crave dahlias with big personality and cutting-garden power, Ambition’s magenta spikes will steal your heart. No other purple dahlia brings this much drama and elegance to every stem or garden bed—she’s both a collector’s gem and a true showwstopper.
