Bohemian Spartacus
‘Bohemian Spartacus’ is a bold and dramatic dinnerplate dahlia known for its striking blend of color and form. The large blooms, often 8 to 10 inches across, feature deep burgundy-red petals streaked and splashed with golden yellow or orange, giving each flower a unique, painterly look — no two blooms are quite the same.
The petals are broad, slightly twisted, and ruffled, creating a rich, sculptural texture that catches light beautifully. The plant itself is tall and vigorous, typically reaching 4 to 5 feet, with strong stems that hold up its massive flowers well for cutting or exhibition.
‘Bohemian Spartacus’ is admired for its vibrant contrast of color, dramatic size, and unpredictable patterning, making it a true showstopper in both the garden and floral arrangements.
