Firefighter Dahlia-Blazing Color, Bold Spirit.Sound the alarm—Firefighter is igniting the garden with high-impact color and fearless flair. These sizzling 5" blooms blaze in brilliant yellow with flames of red licking every petal, like sparks flying off a summer bonfire. Early in the season, each flower is a bold mix of red and gold, but as the weather cools, the petals mellow into a rich golden hue kissed with ember-red edges—like coals glowing at dusk.
Compact at just 3 feet, Firefighter is proof that you don’t need height to bring the heat. It delivers an inferno of blooms well into fall, shining brightly when many others are fading. With its intense color shift, informal decorative form, and can't-miss presence, this dahlia is a garden hero in every sense—brave, bright, and born to stand out.
