Bumble Rumble

Bumble Rumble is a collarette-form dahlia that brings charming energy to the garden and bouquet alike. Its outer petals begin as soft raspberry pink, sometimes blended with lighter pink tones or cream, and are surrounded by a prominent white “ruffle” collar of petaloids that gives the bloom texture and drama. 

The bloom size is approximately 3-4 inches across, and the flowers sit on plants around 70 cm (~2.3 ft) tall (some sources list 70 cm) with full sun exposure. It has a playful, almost whimsical look, “reminding us of a clown’s collar” as one grower described. 

This variety is ideal for growers looking to add something both unique and reliable: the collar structure draws the eye, the color contrast stands out, and the moderate size makes it manageable in cutting beds or mixed borders.
