The Maria Strella Dahlia glows with the colors of a summer evening—petals painted in vivid reds, oranges, and yellows that blend like the sky at sunset. Each flower forms a perfect sphere for a full, soft, and luminous presence that captures attention from across the garden. With lush, dark green foliage as a backdrop, each and every bloom shines like a living ember, adding energy and brilliance to beds, borders, containers, and vases.
Hues and Contrast That Dazzle All Season: Maria Strella’s rich colors create a dynamic display of warmth and light. Its fiery gradient and contrasting petal undersides create an ever-changing play of color that glows in sunlight and softens at dusk. This compact dahlia blooms continuously through the growing season, so you'll enjoy months of vivid, sumptuous color.
Perfect for Containers, Borders, and Cutting: Reaching up to 3 feet tall, Maria Strella is ideal for adding structure and color to mixed plantings or decorative pots. Its rounded blooms hold their shape wonderfully in arrangements, while the plant’s tidy growth habit and manageable size make it perfect for small-space gardening or greenhouse growing. Whether admired outdoors or brought inside, each stem delivers warmth and brightness to your surroundings.
Easy Care and Exceptional Performance: Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this dahlia rewards even novice gardeners with long-lasting beauty. Simply stake the stems for added support and enjoy a steady show of blooms. Though not frost hardy, Maria Strella overwinters beautifully when lifted and stored, returning even stronger year after year.
