Dahlia 'Sharky'
Sharky Dahlia
Dahlia 'Sharky' produces deep grape‑purple blooms in the ball form, defined by petals that are tightly arranged in a smooth, globe‑shaped structure. As the blooms mature, their rich purple petals develop crisp white tips, creating a gradual bi‑color effect that adds dimension and movement. Flowering begins in midsummer and continues through to the first frost, offering a long season of dependable color and form. The rounded shape and evolving coloration make 'Sharky' well suited for cutting gardens and seasonal borders, where its saturated tones and dense texture provide visual impact.
