Dahlia Caribbean Fantasy

Bring the warmth and vibrancy of the tropics to your garden with Dahlia Caribbean Fantasy, a stunning Decorative Dahlia that is sure to ignite admiration. This dahlia variety is renowned for its strikingly large blooms, where soft ivory petals are splashed with lively streaks of coral and blush pink, creating an almost marbled effect that dances in the light. The artistic colouration of Caribbean Fantasy brings to mind a tropical sunset, infusing your outdoor space with a touch of exotic elegance.

Growing to a height of approximately 90-110 cm, Caribbean Fantasy stands tall on robust stems, ideal for both border displays and as eye-catching additions to flower arrangements. Its dark green foliage sets off the dazzling blooms beautifully, lending a deep, contrasting backdrop that enhances the vibrancy of each flower. Blooming from mid-summer through to the first frost, this variety offers an extended season of joyful colour.

One fascinating detail often overlooked is Caribbean Fantasy’s unique petal shape and texture. Unlike more uniform dahlias, its slightly ruffled petals give each bloom a playful and dynamic look, adding movement and depth to garden beds. This dahlia is also known for its adaptability to different garden settings, thriving in full sun while showing commendable tolerance to slight shifts in light throughout the day.

We supply Dahlia Caribbean Fantasy tubers to British gardeners who seek a bold, exotic focal point for their summer garden. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil, ensuring regular watering to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. As with most tender perennials, lifting and storing the tubers
