WB’s Twister Dahlia
A little wild, wonderfully dramatic, and full of personality, WB’s Twister is a captivating miniature informal decorative dahlia dressed in rich shades of raspberry-magenta and deep purple. Her twisting, irregularly arranged petals create a beautifully textured bloom, full of movement and character. With an abundance of petite, jewel-toned flowers, she’s a striking choice for garden beds, bouquets, and arrangements that call for something delightfully unconventional.
📖 From the Journal of Hedge & Alchemy
WB’s Twister immediately caught our attention with her wonderfully untamed petals and rich, moody coloring. Bred by Eugene Kenyon of River’s Dahlias in Oregon, she’s part of the WB line developed with cut flowers in mind. We’re especially drawn to her unusual form and the character of her twisting petals. A lovely addition to our growing collection of distinctive and collectible dahlias at Ravensong Cottage.
