Nicholas
Pickup currently unavailable at Fox Cottage Farm
Nicholas is a breathtaking informal decorative dahlia celebrated for its painterly, sunset-inspired palette and impressive bloom size. Each flower opens in a vibrant blend of peach, coral, and warm orange tones, often brushed with deeper raspberry or rust at the center — creating a watercolor effect that shifts beautifully with light and temperature. No two blooms feel exactly alike, which makes this variety especially captivating in the garden and in floral design.
A strong late-season performer, Nicholas produces large, expressive blooms on sturdy stems that hold up well in arrangements. Its rich, warm coloring pairs effortlessly with both soft neutrals and moody autumn tones, making it a standout focal flower for bouquets and cutting gardens alike.
Form: Informal Decorative
Height: 4ft
Bloom Size: 6”
