Aslan Dahlia Tuber
Aslan was hybridized by legendary American breeder Les Connell, founder of Connell's Dahlias in Washington State, and introduced in 1992. This large semi-cactus variety is highly prized by collectors for its stunning, heavily laciniated (fringe-tipped) petals, showcasing a breathtaking gradient of warm orange, rich golden yellow, and soft peach tones.
Reaching over 4 feet tall, Aslan produces large, showy blooms that perform beautifully both as garden focal points and as eye-catching cut flowers. Les Connell was one of the most prolific hybridizers of the late 20th century, and his immense contributions led the American Dahlia Society to establish the prestigious Les Connell Medal, honoring exceptionally successful new dahlia introductions.
