Cornel Bronze

Cornel Bronze is a popular ball-form dahlia known for its rich, bronzy-orange to coppery-peach blooms with a distinct, warm, autumnal glow, often described as "burnt orange". It features perfectly rounded flowers (around 3-4 inches) with tightly curved petals, strong stems, and a prolific, productive habit, making it an excellent choice for cutting gardens due to its long vase life and weather resistance. Plants typically grow 3-4 feet tall, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil from mid-summer until frost.
