Dahlia 'Dutch Carnival'
Dutch Carnival Dahlia
Dahlia 'Dutch Carnival' produces bold maroon-red blooms edged in golden yellow and features the formal decorative form, defined by petals arranged in concentric layers that create a full, rounded head and deliver a polished flower face. These richly colored blossoms appear in midsummer and continue through to the first frosts of autumn, providing a season‑long display. The red and yellow coloration gives each flower a festive, painterly effect, and its generous bloom production enhances both garden borders and cut arrangements. The bright color scheme combined with the refined structure ensures that 'Dutch Carnival' brings cheerful elegance to late‑season planting.
