Dahlia 'River Dance' | River Dance Dahlia

Dahlia 'River Dance' features deep, dark red blossoms that are both bold and elegant.

The blossoms measure 4 inches across, and the plant reaches a height of 3-4 feet. This dahlia is well-suited for garden borders and makes a distinctive addition to cut flower arrangements.
