Dahlia 'Bazuin Fyr'

Rich, velvety red with the depth of a good burgundy wine, Dahlia 'Bazuin Fyr' brings a wonderfully luxurious touch to the summer garden. Its beautifully rounded flowers are packed with tightly overlapping petals, each one gently curled inwards to create the characteristic shape of a ball dahlia. Look closely and you'll discover a subtle contrast between the deep wine-red fronts and the slightly paler reverses, adding extra dimension to those neatly sculpted blooms. Measuring around 9–11cm across, the flowers have a pleasingly balanced size, substantial enough to draw attention without overwhelming their neighbours. Dahlia 'Bazuin Fyr' carries its richly coloured blooms above fresh green foliage, looking particularly striking in the softer light of late summer. Those perfectly rounded flowers make Dahlia 'Bazuin Fyr' especially appealing for cutting, bringing beautiful structure and depth of colour to bouquets. Combine it with creamy white dahlias, soft apricot flowers and airy ornamental grasses for a sophisticated contrast, or let it mingle with darker purple salvias for a richer effect. Growing to around 100–110cm, Dahlia 'Bazuin Fyr' appreciates a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil, with support for its upright stems. Water during dry spells and pick or remove faded blooms regularly to encourage fresh flowers until the first autumn frosts. Start tubers under cover in spring or plant outdoors once frost has passed, lifting them for frost-free winter storage in colder UK gardens. Dahlia 'Bazuin Fyr' brings a little understated drama to the season.
