Dahlia 'Octopus Sparkle'
Dive deep into the realms of quirky dahlias and you’ll find wonders like Dahlia 'Octopus Sparkle'. The coral-coloured blooms of this splashy variety take the formation of both an orchid-type and an anemone-type dahlia. This clever cross results in an intriguing flower shape, and it’s the elongated narrow petals which give this octopus its tentacles. The ruffled dome of sparkling yellow and red petals completes the appearance of a shimmering sea creature. This bright and scintillating dahlia looks fantastic in a hot-colour or tropical-themed border.
As with all dahlias, Dahlia 'Octopus Sparkle' will bloom all summer long and continue with a big colour hit well into autumn. You can pair it with leafy plants like cannas and colocasias to introduce a bold colour accent to a lush jungle theme, or grow it in borders among other summer blooms—Dahlia 'Octopus Sparkle' looks particularly good with a purple-flowered neighbour like Salvia 'Caradonna' or Verbena bonariensis, and of course with other fiery shades. These bright blooms can also be used to make fun boho bouquets—there’ll be plenty to pick so be sure to bring some exotic colour indoors to enjoy too!
