Fubuki Maroon
Fubuki Maroon
Fubuki Maroon, also known as Dark Fubuki, is a richly dramatic laciniated dahlia in deep maroon, wine, and dark red. Her petals split and fringe toward the tips, giving the bloom a feathery, almost flame-like silhouette that feels much wilder than a standard decorative form.
The coloring deepens toward the petal tips into purplish-red, while the base can show warmer yellow undertones. The result is layered, dark, and beautifully textural rather than flat red. The International Dahlia Register records the cultivar as bred by Firma van der Vlugt & N. Kops, named in 2011, and registered in 2012.

She has exactly the kind of dark, shredded-petal drama that looks like it wandered out of an old botanical spellbook. 🥀
