Mai Tai is a bold, sunset‑washed informal decorative dahlia whose 5‑inch blooms swirl together bronze, yellow, and peachy pink, finished with a sultry brick‑red reverse. The colors shift with light—some days leaning golden, others glowing with a soft peach blush—much like the warm, coppery tones seen on the sunlit flanks of summer Chinook as they move through clear water. The petals have an easy, relaxed flow that enhances the tropical feel. On 4–5 foot plants with dark stems and rich green foliage, Mai Tai produces strong, abundant stems perfect for cutting. Vibrant, warm, and irresistibly summery, it brings pure paradise to both garden and vase.
