About Dahlia 'Richard's Fortune'

Dahlia 'Richard's Fortune' produces bushy plants with dark green serrated foliage.

During summer, the plant develops purple buds that gradually open into anemone-style flowers.

The blooms feature:

  • Outer petals forming a neat daisy-like ring
  • A densely packed central cushion of petals

The centre begins rich pink before maturing into deeper lilac-pink tones.

A subtle white edging on the inner petals adds detail and contrast.

The flowers appear continuously from mid-summer until the first autumn frosts.

This variety also produces excellent stems for cutting.
