Hollyhill Tempest
Back
| New for 2013. Tempest is a B sized flower that is one of the darkest colored variegated flowers of all. The petals have a base color of purple and they are overlaid with dots and streaks of very dark maroon. The form of the flower is quite exotic and it looks like no other dahlia. The plants are almost overly vigorous, growing to 6 feet quite easily. On the downside, it does not have too many flowers and some of the flowers sport to solid maroon. It is an excellent arrangers flower that has been in many winning arrangements. |
| The theme was “OREGON ZOO” – A transparency design incorporating an artificial zoo animal. The intention was that all you would see was the eyes looking at you from behind the foliage. The zoo animal was a gorilla. Flowers are Hollyhill Black Beauty and Hollyhill Tempest. |
