Babette

Babette is a rich, dramatic ball dahlia with deep wine to burgundy blooms that hold their colour beautifully throughout the season. The flowers are full and evenly rounded, offering excellent form without feeling stiff or overly formal. The saturated colouring adds depth and contrast, making Babette a standout in both the field and the vase.

Blooming abundantly on tall, strong stems, Babette is especially well-suited to cutting. The bloom size is ideal for hand-tied bouquets and wedding work, where its dark, moody tones pair effortlessly with blushes, creams, and soft pastels, as well as autumnal palettes. This variety is reliable, productive, and consistently high-performing for cut flower growers.
