About this plant

Dahlia 'Belle of Barmera' produces enormous, fluffy blossoms in a lively blend of tropical colors, ranging from hot pink and coral to softer peach and golden tones. An informal decorative dahlia, its abundant petals twist and curve in slightly irregular layers, creating a full, relaxed flower form with wonderful depth and movement. The shifting colors across the petals give each bloom a warm, multidimensional appearance.

Blooming from midsummer into fall, 'Belle of Barmera' brings bold color and impressive scale to the late-season garden. Its substantial flowers make a dramatic focal point in beds and borders, while long stems allow the blooms to shine in fresh-cut arrangements. The varied coloring also pairs beautifully with both warm-toned and contrasting dahlias in mixed plantings.

Planting & care

Growing beautiful dahlias starts with thoughtful planting and care. A sunny location, well-draining soil, and consistent attention throughout the growing season help plants develop abundant flowers. Regular watering and feeding encourage healthy growth, while mulch helps conserve moisture. Removing spent flowers keeps plants blooming freely from summer into fall.
