About this plant
Dahlia 'Hot Rod' features rich coral-orange blooms in the waterlily form, with broad flat petals that open into a lantern‑like shape and are carried on sturdy stems from midsummer through early autumn. Each blossom bursts in glowing orange, offering dependable color late into the season. The generous, strong blooms on upright stems make this variety an excellent fit for garden beds and cutting gardens alike. With consistent bloom performance and saturated tone, 'Hot Rod' delivers a bold statement long after many other plants have finished flowering.
