Wanda's Aurora Dahlia Tuber
Wanda’s Aurora is a spectacular giant dinnerplate dahlia whose 8–10+ inch blooms glow in radiant salmon‑pink, peach, apricot, and warm golden yellow, with petals that swirl and ruffle in soft gradients to create a sunrise‑like bloom that shifts beautifully with the light. A Stable morph type, it holds its warm, translucent palette with remarkable consistency, showing only gentle changes in luminosity as blooms mature. This glowing blend mirrors the apricot‑peach warmth of Ocean Coho and the luminous pink‑to‑gold highlights seen in Rainbow Trout, where soft yellows, warm oranges, and gentle pinks coexist in a radiant, internal light. Compact plants reach 3–4 feet and produce plush, high‑impact blooms that feel like holding a sunrise in your hands. Warm, glowing, and deeply atmospheric, Wanda’s Aurora brings early‑life salmon radiance to every arrangement.
