Islander

Islander is a dramatic dinnerplate dahlia showcasing massive, ruffled blooms in warm salmon-pink tones. The flowers routinely reach 10 inches or larger, with softly layered petals that create movement and fullness without appearing stiff. The colour is rich yet refineda sought-after salmon shade that stands out in both garden beds and large-scale arrangements.

Plants are tall and vigorous, producing abundant blooms on long, sturdy stems that make this variety a strong performer for cutting. Islander pairs beautifully with blush, cream, soft peach, pale lavender, and even deeper raspberry tones. Its scale and colour make it a true focal flower, ideal for growers who want bold impact and reliable production.
