Florelie Paradise

The Florelie Paradise dahlia is a vibrant and highly productive variety released in 2022 by Australian breeder Lorelie Merton of Florelie Seasonal Flowers. It is prized by both gardeners and florists for its "tropical" feel and versatile color that complements a wide range of floral palettes. 

• Color: Tropical Watermelon Pink. A luminous shade described as watermelon, coral, or burnt orange. Its warm, summery tones make it a popular choice for trendy "harmonious peach" and "oriental satin" color combinations.
• Form: Decorative. Features a full, lush petal arrangement typical of decorative dahlias, providing a soft but substantial presence in arrangements.
• Bloom Size: Small/Medium. Blooms are designed for impact while remaining manageable for bouquets and vase work.
• Height: Tall. A vigorous grower that reaches approximately 3.2 to 5 feet (1–1.5 meters) tall and requires stalking or support. 
• Performance: Highly Productive Workhorse. This variety is noted for being exceptionally prolific. Breeders recommend cutting every bloom as often as possible to manage the plant's habit and encourage continuous flowering through summer and autumn.
