Hy Bolero

Hy Bolero is a striking single dahlia featuring dramatic petals brushed in deep red with creamy white streaking and a bright golden-yellow centre. The open-faced bloom highlights its vivid contrast and makes it especially attractive to pollinators. Flowers measure approximately 2-3 inches across and are held on tall, slender stems above vigorous plants.

This variety brings bold colour and movement to the garden without heaviness. Its painterly red-and-cream striping pairs beautifully with soft blush tones, bright yellows, warm oranges, and fresh green foliage. In addition to its ornamental appeal, the open form makes Hy Bolero an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly plantings and naturalistic garden designs.
