Ben Huston is a striking large-flowered dahlia that brings warmth and movement to the late-summer and fall garden. Blooms open in rich apricot tones accented with darker brush marks, then gradually soften as the centres fade to a glowing golden yellow. This colour evolution gives each flower depth and character, making it especially appealing in mixed arrangements.
The flowers are fully double with loosely layered petals, creating an informal decorative form that feels lush without being heavy. Ben Huston produces exceptionally long, strong stems, making it a reliable and productive cut flower that performs beautifully in autumn bouquets.
A standout variety for growers who value both size and stem quality, Ben Huston is well suited to garden beds and cutting gardens alike.
