Dahlia Radegast

Dahlia Radegast is an impressive decorative dahlia that captivates with its bold, bi-coloured blooms and dramatic presence. Each flower, reaching up to 20cm across, showcases vibrant magenta-pink petals that fade elegantly into white tips, creating a striking contrast that draws attention. The slightly curled petals add a touch of texture and depth, making this dahlia a truly regal addition to any garden.

Growing to a height of approximately 100–120cm, Dahlia Radegast is supported by robust, upright stems and lush, dark green foliage. This makes it ideal for borders, where its tall stature provides structure and height. Flowering abundantly from midsummer until the first frost, this variety ensures a long season of colour and beauty in your garden.

What sets Dahlia Radegast apart is its vibrant colouration and the way it changes with the light. In direct sunlight, the magenta tones appear bold and vivid, while the white tips add a shimmering effect. In softer evening light, the petals take on a gentler, more romantic hue, making this dahlia a dynamic focal point at any time of day. Its sturdy stems make it perfect for cutting, allowing you to bring its dramatic blooms indoors for stunning floral arrangements.

Supplied as premium-quality tubers, Dahlia Radegast thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
