Willo's Violet Dahlia Tuber 🇦🇺

Willo's Violet Dahlia Tuber – Rich Purple-Violet Pompon 🇦🇺

Willo's Violet is a legendary heirloom variety hybridized by Norman Williams in Australia, introduced in 1937. This variety has remained a global favorite on the competitive show bench for nearly 90 years thanks to its exceptional form and uniform quality — a perfectly symmetrical, globose pompon bloom in rich purple-violet, sometimes showing subtle lavender and grape tones, occasionally with light or white hints toward the center.

Growing 3 to 4 feet tall, this variety produces incredibly strong stems and highly prolific blooms. A notable trait of this cultivar is that its crown material extends far down the tuber necks, meaning eyes regularly sprout from what looks like the neck.
