Dahlia Hapet Marmony

Dahlia Hapet Marmony: A Vibrant Tricolor Tuber

Create a warm and vibrant display with the Dahlia Hapet Marmony tuber. This tidy, upright bush grows to a height of 100 cm with a spread of approximately 40 cm. Its branching, hollow stems hold fully-double blooms, 10–11 cm across, with a unique tricolor pattern on every petal. A warm yellow heart flares into a scarlet-orange band and finishes with neat white tips, creating a dynamic and eye-catching effect. This dahlia is a stunning focal point for mid-border colour accents or for creating beautiful “sunset” themed beds.

Dahlia Hapet Marmony is an excellent choice for long-lasting winter bouquets, with stems lasting 7–9 days in a vase. The vibrant colours add instant warmth and character to any arrangement. With consistent dead-heading and maintenance, you can expect to enjoy around 80 of these beautiful tricolor flowers per plant throughout the long flowering season from late November through March.
