Uncle B Dahlia – Charming, bold, and a little unforgettable. Doesn’t everyone have an “Uncle B”—the one who tells the best stories, shows up with a big smile, and always leaves an impression? Just like its namesake, this dahlia brings character by the armful.
Uncle B blooms late in the season, but when it does, it's like a grand entrance at the family reunion: plum-purple petals swirled with silvery frosting unfold into lush, 8-inch blossoms full of depth and drama. Set on a sturdy 4-foot plant, each bloom has a richness that photographs can’t quite capture—like velvet lit from within. It’s not a show diva or a florist favorite, but it’s a true garden personality you’ll want to invite back year after year.
