Hollyhill Zahara Dahlia-Commanding the garden like a desert sun, Hollyhill Zahara is a radiant giant in every sense. With blooms reaching a staggering 10"–12" across, this AA-class beauty flaunts intense orange petals in a lush, incurved cactus form that bursts outward in glowing, sculptural layers. It’s the kind of dahlia you can spot from across the field—and once you do, you won’t forget it.
Towering 5'–6' tall on sturdy stems, Zahara is the fiery offspring of Hollyhill Electra, continuing the legacy of powerhouse garden performance and floral drama. It’s not just a looker—this variety is also a dependable producer, making plenty of healthy tubers for sharing or scaling up next season. Bred by Ted and Margaret Kennedy of Hollyhill Dahlias, Zahara is a premium pick for growers who want size, color, and vigor all in one.
