John Meggos is a commanding dahlia with massive, many‑layered blooms built from thick, luxurious petals. Its deep red, velvety flowers are streaked and splashed with golden and mustard tones, creating a richness that feels almost molten in warm light. The color shifts across each bloom recall the way salmon flash between shadow and gold as they turn in bright, shallow water — a striking, dynamic presence in both the garden and the vase.
