Dahlia – Cornel Bronze

Dahlia ‘Cornel Bronze’ is a rich, warm-toned ball dahlia with coppery bronze-orange blooms. It is a favourite for cut flower gardens because of its strong stems, rounded flower shape and useful colour for autumn-inspired bouquets.

The compact, rounded flowers add depth and warmth to garden beds and arrangements. Cornel Bronze combines beautifully with cream, burgundy, peach, apricot, rust and deep foliage tones.

Planting and Care

Plant in spring once the weather and soil have warmed. Choose a full-sun position with rich, well-drained soil. Add compost before planting and avoid waterlogged areas.

Once shoots appear, water consistently and feed through the growing season. Deadhead regularly and cut stems often to keep the plant producing flowers.
