Misses Miley

Misses Miley is a smoky, autumn-toned dahlia bred by Peter Komen in the Netherlands. Her blooms blend brick red, rust, copper, berry, and deep wine, with the richest color pooling toward the center. The result is warm and moody rather than bright, almost like red petals steeped in old bronze.

She is especially appealing for cutting because the coloring plays beautifully with peach, copper, burgundy, mauve, and other late-season tones.

🌱 2027 Grow-Out

Misses Miley will arrive at Hedge & Alchemy in Spring 2027 and will be grown here for the first time that season. She will not be offered in our 2027 tuber sale.
