Dahlia Babylon Brons

Dahlia ‘Babylon Brons’ – Apricot-Bronze Dinnerplate Dahlia Plant

Dahlia ‘Babylon Brons’ is a spectacular large-flowered Decorative Dahlia producing enormous, fully double blooms with long, elegant petals arranged in a striking sunray-like form.
Its flowers display a sophisticated blend of warm apricot, bronze and soft orange tones, often enhanced by occasional pink or salmon highlights. The color tends to deepen toward the center, creating a beautifully dimensional effect. RHS describes the blooms as apricot with darker coloring toward the center, while specialist growers also record bronze, orange and pink tones.
Blooms typically reach approximately 20–25 cm across, while mature plants grow around 100–110 cm tall. Its strong stems, huge flowers and warm coloring make Babylon Brons exceptional for cutting gardens, statement bouquets and sophisticated floral arrangements.

Growing in Kuwait

• For Kuwait conditions, Dahlia ‘Babylon Brons’ is best grown during the cooler growing season, once extreme summer temperatures have declined.
• A practical outdoor growing period is from October onward, depending on actual temperatures.
• Place the plant in a location with good sunlight during the cooler months. As temperatures begin to rise toward the end of the season, some protection from intense afternoon sun can help reduce heat stress.
• Grow in fertile, well-drained soil and water regularly, allowing the upper layer of soil to begin drying slightly between waterings. Avoid keeping the root zone constantly saturated.
• Transplanting from pot, move the plant carefully without disturbing the root ball excessively, and water thoroughly after transplanting.
• Because plants typically reach around 90–100 cm tall, light staking is recommended to support the stems and protect them from wind or the weight of the flowers.
• Regular removal of faded blooms will encourage continued flowering throughout the growing season.
