Dahlia Kelsey Annie Joy

Here is one of our favourite dahlias in our assortement: Kelsey Annie Joy, a delightful Collerette Dahlia that charms gardeners and visitors alike with its lively and cheerful blooms. This variety captivates with a striking blend of peachy-orange and yellow, with soft transitions between the hues, encircling a golden-yellow centre that invites bees and butterflies to enjoy its nectar. The open, collarette structure adds a playful touch that stands out beautifully in any garden setting.

Growing to an ideal height of approximately 60-80 cm, Kelsey Annie Joy is perfect for adding mid-level interest to borders, beds, or container displays. Its deep green foliage forms a lush backdrop that highlights the vibrancy of each flower, allowing the blooms’ colours to pop against the greenery. With a flowering period extending from mid-summer to the first frost, this dahlia keeps your garden bright and lively well into the autumn months.

What sets Kelsey Annie Joy apart is its distinct petal formation: an outer layer of broad, cheerful petals surrounding a smaller, contrasting inner layer that accentuates the open centre. This not only adds texture but also creates a natural spotlight effect, drawing the eye and providing a dynamic visual appeal. Unlike more uniform varieties, this dahlia offers a sense of movement and spontaneity that breathes life into any planting scheme.

We supply top-quality Kelsey Annie Joy tubers to British gardeners looking for a flower that embodies both beauty and personality. For best results, plant in well-drained, fertile soil and position in full sun to maximise its flowering potential. Regular watering will keep it thriving, but be sure to avoid waterlogged conditions. In colder regions, lifting and storing the tubers over winter will protect them for the following season.

Bring a splash of joy and vibrant colour to your garden with Dahlia Kelsey Annie Joy, a bloom that celebrates the playful side of nature.
