Hollyhill Dragonfire Dahlia-Blazing with color and personality, Hollyhill Dragonfire lives up to its fierce name with wild, unpredictable beauty. This medium-sized semi-cactus dahlia burns bright in fiery streaks of gold, orange, and red—each bloom a flame-tipped masterpiece. With petals that twist and curl into a sharp, spiky silhouette, the form is as intense as the color. Some flowers emerge with bold stripes and spots, others may be half-and-half, or even fully red as the season progresses. No two are ever exactly the same.
Grown on a tall, vigorous plant (reports range from 4' to a towering 7'), Dragonfire is known for its garden dominance and heavy flower production. It's a true "beast" in the best way—bushy, bold, and packed with blooms. Long, strong stems make it excellent for cutting, while its award-winning form has dazzled judges and captured hearts on the show bench, earning multiple “Best Variegated” ribbons and even a “People’s Choice” title.
