Jowey Morris Semi Cactus Dahlia
Energize your summer and fall garden with the stunning 'Jowey Morris' Semi Cactus Dahlia. This variety showcases large, 6-inch blooms featuring a gorgeous color transition, starting burgundy at the base, fading to soft pink, and ending with pure white tips. These flowers are held on long stems above deep green foliage, making them excellent for cutting. They thrive in full sun and prefer average, well-drained soil. While perennial in zones 8-10, tubers can be lifted after frost in cooler climates for spring replanting. This easy-to-grow dahlia variety is known to attract both butterflies and hummingbirds.

What customers say
Customers are highly enthusiastic about the Jowey Morris Dahlia's aesthetic appeal, frequently praising its spectacular fiery orange apricot blooms and unique semi cactus form. Successful growers report prolific blooming and exceptional color intensity, viewing the plant as a stunning garden focal point. However, sentiment is polarized by inconsistent tuber quality upon arrival. A recurring issue involves viability, with some tubers failing to sprout, leading to frustration regarding value. While the performance of successful plants is outstanding, potential buyers should note the inherent risk associated with the starting material. The exceptional beauty achieved by many justifies the premium status for those who experience success.
