Ball ยท 4โ€“5"Orange

Nicholas is a ball dahlia that opens 4โ€“5" blooms in orange. Sunset-washed globes open in a soft apricot that deepens toward the heart, holding their tight round shape through heat and harvest. The petals curl inward with almost architectural precision, giving every bloom a quiet, confident symmetry.
