Dahlia 'Tanita'

There’s something irresistibly artistic about Dahlia 'Tanita', as though it has taken inspiration from a watercolour palette and decided to outshine it. Each bloom unfurls with refined quilled petals, their gently rolled shapes revealing the variety’s elegant two-tone secret: soft lilac-pink within and a deeper red-purple washed along the outer edges. This interplay feels wonderfully deliberate, giving Dahlia 'Tanita' a depth and movement that holds the eye in the border, particularly when late-summer light glances across the petals. It’s a variety that seems to glow rather than simply bloom, quietly transforming a planting scheme without clamouring for attention, yet somehow stealing the show all the same.

As a cutting flower, Dahlia 'Tanita' brings that same gentle theatre indoors, offering long-lasting stems that hold their colour beautifully in a vase. Its poise makes it easy to pair with neighbouring dahlias and textural foliage, but it’s equally lovely arranged on its own, allowing those quilled petals to take centre stage. Whether you’re cultivating a dedicated dahlia patch or weaving choice varieties through a mixed border, Dahlia 'Tanita' rewards with dependable flowering, generous colour and a personality that feels both contemporary and classic. A single plant provides an astonishing amount of seasonal joy—just the sort every gardener hopes for.
