Dahlia 'Caliente'
Caliente Dahlia
Dahlia 'Caliente' showcases bold, deep red blooms held in the formal decorative form, with broad petals layered to create full, polished flower heads on strong, upright stems. The rich red color carries through each blossom and is often accented with subtle golden tones near the center, adding warmth and depth to the petals. These flowers begin opening in midsummer and continue steadily into early autumn, providing a long season of intense color and reliable performance.
