Copper Boy adds a dose of autumn magic to the garden, showing off perfectly rounded, ball-shaped blooms in warm, burnished copper-orange to deep brick red. Each flower glows with a rich, velvety finish and is packed with tightly layered petals that create a refined texture—ideal for those who love sculptural flowers. Blooms average 3.5 to 4 inches across and appear on compact, 3 to 3.5-foot plants with long, sturdy stems for their size. The color holds steady from summer into fall, sometimes picking up deeper red or brownish notes as the nights cool. While the plant itself is on the shorter side, it’s a stand-out both in beds and for cut arrangements, with blooms that hold their shape exceptionally well.
Height: 3–3.5 feet
Bloom size: 3.5–4 inches
Form: Ball—dense, perfectly rounded blooms
Color: Burnt copper, brick red, and rust with a velvety sheen
Vigor: Reliable and early to bloom, keeps producing through autumn
Stem strength: Sturdy, surprisingly good for a compact plant
Special notes: The coloring is the inverse of Brown Sugar—where Brown Sugar is golden-bronze edged with orange, Copper Boy skews richer, browner, and more russet. Plants pair beautifully with autumn tones and hold up well even if summer is rainy.
Why you need this variety:
Copper Boy brings unbeatable warmth, depth, and sculptural elegance in every flower. If you want rugged autumn color and a bloom that always looks fresh, this is the dahlia you’ll reach for all season long.
