Islander Dahlia
Islander dahlia, Informal Decorative dahlias
Islander dahlia produces watermelon-colored blooms and is a breathtaking bloom that captivates with its sheer size and vibrant hue. Its petals are voluminous and ruffled, creating a full and textured appearance. The petals themselves exhibit a gradient of watermelon shades, transitioning from a pale, soft pink at the edges to a deeper, more intense hue towards the center.
Measuring an impressive 8 inches or more in diameter, these blooms are undeniably large, dominating the space they occupy and demanding attention with their imposing presence. The plants are relatively compact, standing at a height of around 3.5 feet.
