Willie Willie

Willie Willie is here for texture and personality, and she brings a wonderfully unconventional silhouette to the dahlia patch. A soft light blend with single, involute petals that roll inward to create an airy orchid-like form.

🌱 2027 Grow-Out: This variety will arrive at Hedge & Alchemy in Spring 2027 and will be grown here for the first time that season. It will not be offered in our 2027 tuber sale.
