Dahlia Seniors Hope

Dahlia Seniors Hope is a decorative dahlia that shines with vibrant yet refined beauty. Its perfectly rounded blooms display radiant shades of deep rose and blush pink, accented by creamy undertones and intricate striations that give the petals an almost glowing effect. This sophisticated combination of colours brings warmth and elegance to borders, cutting gardens, and mixed planting schemes.

Growing to a height of 80–100 cm, Dahlia Seniors Hope stands tall with its strong, upright stems and rich green foliage that creates a striking contrast to the blooms’ warm tones. The flowers, approximately 10–15 cm in diameter, are abundant throughout the growing season, blooming from midsummer until the first frost.

What makes this variety truly special is the interplay of light and colour on its petals. The rose-pink hues deepen in bright sunlight, while the creamy highlights soften the overall appearance, lending a luminous quality to the flowers. This dynamic look makes it equally captivating in the garden or as part of a floral arrangement. Its long-lasting blooms and sturdy stems make it a favourite among gardeners and florists alike.

Supplied as premium-quality tubers, Dahlia Seniors Hope thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring minimal care to achieve spectacular results. Whether showcased in a formal border or paired with complementary blooms in a cottage garden, this dahlia is a testament to timeless beauty and effortless charm.
