Description
Dahlia Liquid Desire is an extraordinary Collarette Dahlia that fully lives up to its captivating name. Its blooms are a beautiful blend of soft lavender, blush pink, and creamy white, seamlessly merging to create a stunning watercolour effect. The large, layered petals are gently ruffled, giving each flower a graceful, flowing appearance that almost seems liquid in form, adding an ethereal quality to any garden.
Growing to a height of 50–70 cm, Liquid Desire is ideal for borders, cutting gardens, or as a statement piece in mixed beds. Its deep green foliage provides a bold contrast to the soft, pastel tones of the flowers, allowing them to take center stage. This dahlia begins flowering in mid-summer and continues to bloom until the first frost, ensuring months of vibrant beauty during the gardening season.
What sets Dahlia Liquid Desire apart is its dynamic colouration, which subtly shifts depending on the light. The lavender tones deepen in the soft glow of evening light, while the blush pinks shine bright under the midday sun. This versatility makes it an eye-catching variety, whether 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.
