Description:
Dahlia 'Colour Spectacle' is a semi-cactus cultivar that offers a spectacular tropical effect in the garden. The flowers are fully double, and 8-10 inches across with wider petals than most cactus-types displaying coral- to tangerine-orange petals tipped in white on 3-4 foot tall stems.
