Lupin Chris

Lupin Chris is a bold formal decorative dahlia featuring richly saturated reddish-purple blooms with a refined, symmetrical form. The 4-inch flowers open in deep jewel-toned hues that read as velvety wine with subtle plum undertones. Its neatly arranged petals create a polished, sculptural bloom that maintains its structure beautifully throughout the season.

Plants grow tall and vigorous, reaching approximately 4-5 feet in height. Strong stems support the well-formed blooms, making this variety highly reliable for cutting production as well as garden impact. Its consistent performance and striking colour make it a standout in both borders and bouquet work.

The deep reddish-purple colouring pairs beautifully with blush, dusty rose, champagne, muted peach, soft lavender, and contrasting creamy neutrals. Lupin Chris adds depth and richness to arrangements while maintaining a classic decorative silhouette.
