About this plant

Dahlia 'Wildman' produces bold semi-cactus blooms in a rich cherry red with pointed, recurved petals that give the flowers a dramatic silhouette. Lighter pink to creamy white tones often appear at the petal tips, creating a soft contrast that enhances the bloom's depth. Some flowers reveal yellow streaking through the petals, especially near the center, where the color may shift to yellow entirely. The backsides of the petals also commonly display yellow tones. Blooming from midsummer into fall, 'Wildman' delivers a long-lasting show of color that evolves subtly as the season progresses.
