Salsa is a lively, firecracker of a dahlia—perfectly round, ball-shaped blooms in rich, scarlet red that pop against deep green foliage like little globes of hot sauce. Flowers are modest in size but produced in big numbers on a sturdy, upright plant, making this variety a fantastic choice for bold, color-drenched borders and striking cut arrangements.
Height: About 3–4 feet
Bloom size: Around 2.5–3 inches
Form: Ball; tightly packed, spherical blooms with neatly rolled petals
Color: True, vivid scarlet red that holds well on the plant and in the vase
Vigor: Very productive and long-blooming from midsummer to frost
Stem strength: Strong, upright stems ideal for cutting and bunching
Special notes: Brings intense, saturated red without veering into muddy maroon; a great way to add punch to mixed color palettes
Why you need this variety:
Salsa delivers non-stop, high-impact red blooms that are easy to grow, easy to use, and impossible to ignore. If you want reliable, fiery color and buckets of stems for arranging, this variety earns its place in the lineup.
