Dahlia ‘Amarone’

Description

Dahlia ‘Amarone’ is as hard to define as the Italian wine it’s named after—somewhere between deep ruby, rose and garnet depending on the light. This decorative dahlia produces lush, velvety blooms that bring depth and sophistication to any border. Standing proudly on strong stems, Dahlia ‘Amarone’ adds a luxurious touch to summer displays, offering colour that shifts subtly from one hour to the next. It’s the sort of variety that seems to glow from within, especially when paired with silvers, creams or ornamental grasses.

Give Dahlia ‘Amarone’ a sunny position and fertile, free-draining soil and it will deliver a steady stream of flowers from midsummer to the first frosts. The rich green foliage forms a handsome backdrop to the wine-toned blooms, while the long stems make it an excellent cut-flower choice. Elegant yet full of personality, Dahlia ‘Amarone’ is the floral equivalent of an after-dinner indulgence—intense, smooth and delightfully memorable.
