Dahlia 'Firefighter'
Firefighter Dahlia
Dahlia 'Firefighter' features bright yellow blossoms accented with vivid scarlet red at the base and along the petal edges, creating a bold and energetic color contrast. As the flowers mature, the yellow becomes more prominent, adding dynamic visual interest. This variety is part of the informal decorative group, characterized by its loosely arranged petals that give the bloom a relaxed, free-form appearance. The 5-inch blossoms sit atop a plant that reaches a height of 3 feet, making it an excellent choice for garden borders or cut flower arrangements, where its vibrant colors can shine.
