Description

Dahlia Honka Red carries the same signature star form but dressed in deep cherry-crimson petals with a bright golden centre. A magnet for pollinators thanks to its fully open pollen-rich heart, this is a standout for anyone designing biodiversity-positive gardens or wildflower-integrated borders. The elegant geometry adds movement and lightness to otherwise dense plantings, making it especially effective in meadow-style schemes, prairie mixes, contemporary perennial borders and cut-flower rows. Produces flowers steadily from mid-summer to frost, thriving in full sun and fertile, moisture-retentive soil with good drainage. Perfect for pairing with yellows and bronzes (Rudbeckia, Helenium), blues (Salvia, Perovskia) or tall verticals like Verbena. An excellent landscaping choice for public spaces, pollinator projects, coastal gardens, sensory gardens and naturalised beds, where long flowering with ecological value is required.
