Description
Water-lily dahlias are among the most beautiful of the many categories of dahlias. This gentleman horse rider, the water-lily Dahlia 'Caballero', is no exception. The strongly contrasted reds and bright yellow are placed with extreme accuracy on the edges of the petals, as if done by a designer’s brush. The precision is almost beyond belief! Imagine this beauty as a cut flower for an arrangement in an uncluttered area. The display potential of Dahlia 'Caballero' is great. And you needn’t feel guilty about cutting the blooms – the more flowers cut, the more this dahlia will produce between July and first frost.
