About this plant
Dahlia 'Nijinsky' displays deep plum‑purple blooms in a classic ball form, with dense, tightly wrapped petals forming smooth, rounded flower heads on sturdy stems. Blooms begin in midsummer and continue steadily through early autumn, offering a reliable and generous flowering period. The rich purple tone remains consistent even as flowers mature, making the heads excellent for cut‑flower use and garden planting alike. Because 'Nijinsky' produces abundant heads and maintains good stem length, it's often praised for both floral arrangements and landscape presence during peak dahlia season.
