Dahlia Liquid Desire

Dahlia Liquid Desire is an extraordinary Collarette Dahlia that lives up to its alluring name. Its mesmerising blooms are a symphony of soft lavender, blush pink, and creamy white hues, delicately blending together to create an ethereal watercolour effect. The large, layered petals are gently ruffled, giving each flower a graceful, flowing appearance that seems almost liquid in form.

Growing to a height of 50-70 cm, Liquid Desire is perfect for borders, cutting gardens, or as a statement piece in mixed beds. Its deep green foliage provides a striking contrast to the pastel tones of the blooms, ensuring they take centre stage in any garden display. This dahlia begins to flower in mid-summer and continues until the first frost, offering months of vibrant beauty during the peak of the gardening season.

What sets Dahlia Liquid Desire apart is the way its colouration subtly shifts depending on the light, with the lavender tones deepening in softer evening light and the blush pinks glowing under the midday sun. It’s a truly dynamic variety that looks equally stunning in the garden or as part of a floral arrangement. Its sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make it a favourite among florists and gardeners alike.

We supply premium Dahlia Liquid Desire tubers to British gardeners who appreciate elegance and sophistication in their outdoor spaces. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and position in full sun for the best results. Regular watering and occasional feeding will keep it thriving, while lifting and storing the tubers during winter will ensure its return for years to come.

For a garden that captivates with soft, flowing colours and refined charm, Dahlia Liquid Desire is an exceptional choice.
