As charming as it is unexpected, this dahlia turns every garden into a conversation piece.
‘BJ’s Rival’ is a true show-stealer, covered in fluffy, two-toned blooms of raspberry and gold that look almost too perfect to be real. Their unique anemone-style shape brings soft texture and playful movement, while their sturdy stems and weather tolerance make them as reliable as they are beautiful. The colour combination feels nostalgic yet bold, a bloom that looks straight out of a painter’s garden.
Perfect for cut flower lovers, each stem adds instant joy to arrangements and pairs beautifully with both deep jewel tones and soft pastels. Easy to grow and rewarding all season long, this is a must-plant for anyone craving a mix of whimsy and dependability in their garden.
Because the best things in the garden are often the ones that surprise you.

A little wild, a little refined, and absolutely unforgettable.
