Hillcrest Suffusion

The Hillcrest Suffusion dahlia is a breathtaking and radiant variety hybridized by Les Jackson of Great Britain in 1991. It is highly prized for its "glowing" presence and a unique, warm color palette that shifts like a summer sunset—making it a favorite for both garden borders and professional floral design.

• Form: Formal Decorative (FD). Known for its neatly layered, 
  symmetrical petals that give the bloom a structured, professional appearance. ADS Classification: 3010
