RM Illusion Dahlia Tuber
Limit 1 per customer
A striking, full-bodied formal decorative with luminous coral petals tipped in gold, and a vivid fuchsia reverse that adds real depth and dimension when the petals catch the light. Blooms open with a soft green center that fades away as they mature into full splendor — a nice detail to watch as each bloom comes into its own. Standing tall at 5.5 feet with robust 4 to 4.5-inch blooms, this variety needs staking to perform its best, but rewards you with genuinely showstopping color.
Plant Height: 5.5 ft
