Dahlias
Dahlia 'River Dance'
River Dance Dahlia
Dahlia 'River Dance' features deep, dark red blossoms that are both bold and elegant. The center, or collar, mirrors the rich red of the outer petals, forming a pincushion-like effect, typical of dahlias in the anemone group, where a central cluster of tubular florets contrasts with broader outer petals. The blossoms measure 4 inches across, and the plant reaches a height of 3-4 feet. This dahlia is well-suited for garden borders and makes a distinctive addition to cut flower arrangements.
