Florelie Guava

The Florelie Guava dahlia is a radiant and highly productive variety released in 2022 by Australian breeder Lorelie Merton of Florelie Seasonal Flowers. Bred from seed obtained via a swap with Wild Violet Farm, it is celebrated for its tropical, "fruity" vibes and dramatic contrasting stems—a favorite for both market bouquets and high-end floral design.
