Dahlia 'Kelsey Molly' | Kelsey Molly Dahlia
DESCRIPTION
Dahlia 'Kelsey Molly' dazzles with its deep red petals, each delicately tipped with white, adding a crisp, refined edge to the bloom. A ring of smaller, raspberry-colored inner petals forms a charming collar around the large, sunny yellow center, creating a vivid contrast. As the blooms mature, the outer petals gradually fade, resulting in a stunning ombre effect that adds depth and intrigue. Belonging to the Collarette group, 'Kelsey Molly' features the characteristic two-layered petal structure—broad, vibrant outer petals paired with a frill of smaller inner petals that enhance the flower's complexity. Classified as miniature in size, this dahlia's captivating color transitions and playful form bring a dynamic, eye-catching presence to any garden or floral arrangement.
