🌸 Full Product Description
✨ Dahlia ‘Formby Monarch’ — Regal Blooms with Golden Accents
From the skilled hands of George Harding, Formby Monarch reigns supreme in both size and beauty. Its huge 8–10″ decorative blooms shimmer in dusty salmon-pink tones, each petal kissed with subtle golden highlights. The result? A flower so opulent it looks like it was plucked straight from a royal garden.
Plants grow to about 4 ft tall, with blooms that rise high and proud. Yes, they’re so large they benefit from staking — but that’s not a weakness, that’s proof you’ve got a monarch on your hands. These are statement flowers, designed to stand above the rest and make your garden feel like a coronation.
The Gardening Moose says: I may not wear a crown, but with Formby Monarch in the field, I definitely walk around like I own the kingdom.
