Dahlia Bora Bora

Infuse your outdoor space with the tropical allure of Dahlia Bora Bora, a striking Semi-Cactus Dahlia that evokes the magic of its namesake island paradise. Known for its exotic blooms, this dahlia presents an eye-catching blend of rich magenta and warm tangerine hues, giving each flower a radiant, sun-drenched appearance. The unique colour gradient adds depth and interest, with petals that seem to shift in tone as the sunlight plays upon them.

Reaching a height of approximately 100-110 cm, Bora Bora stands tall on sturdy, well-branched stems that ensure the flowers hold their heads high, even in breezy conditions. The lush, deep green foliage creates a perfect contrast, making the vibrant blooms pop even more dramatically in garden borders or flower beds. This variety flowers from mid-summer through to the first frost, offering months of continuous colour and delight.

What sets Dahlia Bora Bora apart from other varieties is its adaptability and striking petal arrangement. The petals are slightly curved and layered, giving each bloom a sense of movement that enhances its visual appeal. This dahlia is as stunning in the garden as it is in floral arrangements, providing a touch of the exotic that elevates bouquets and centrepieces to new heights.
