Collarette · 3–4"RedDixie Dahlia Gardens (1955)United States

Pointed cranberry petals with fine white stripes and creamy tips surround rows of fluffy, creamy twizzles brushed with cranberry. A golden eye anchors this vintage heirloom, a bee-and-butterfly magnet preserved from mid-century breeding. Stems hold strong without coddling, and the open face draws pollinators all season. It was bred in United States by Dixie Dahlia Gardens in 1955.

Growing Fashion Monger

Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil, spacing tubers generously for airflow. Pinch when young to encourage branching and more side shoots. Stems hold themselves fairly well but a light support keeps tall growth upright in wind. Water deeply at the base and mulch to conserve moisture. Feed lightly through peak bloom, and cut often to keep new buds forming.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
