Description
A beautifully formed small cactus dahlia, Tui Orange produces fine, pointed petals in a vivid orange-red. Its neat, refined form and striking colour make it a standout in the garden, while its strong performance as an exhibition flower has earned it a reputation among dahlia growers.
Originating in New Zealand in 1989, Tui Orange has proven itself particularly successful on the exhibition bench, including championship recognition in Australian dahlia shows. Its warm colouring and elegant cactus form also make it a lovely choice for cutting.
