Maarn

Maarn is an exceptionally popular and highly productive dahlia, widely celebrated for its vibrant orange color and its reputation as a cut-and-come-again workhorse in the garden. It is also often sold under the synonym 'Sylvia' in some regions, particularly Europe.

Hybridized by Swan Island Dahlias (USA) and introduced in 2000.

Characteristics:

Form: Ball (BA) / Formal Decorative (FD)—There is a split classification. Many sources, especially in the US (like the hybridizer Swan Island Dahlias), classify it as Formal Decorative (FD), noting its neat, flat-petaled structure. However, many growers and retailers list it as a classic Ball (BA) dahlia due to its dense, globe-like shape and involute (inward-curving) petals.

Color: Orange (OR) / Tangerine—The color is a pure, bright, vivid orange or tangerine. It is often described as a true, unapologetic orange without significant blends of coral or peach.

Bloom Size: Small (BB) / Miniature Ball (MB)—Blooms are generally sized between 3 to 4 inches (7.5–10 cm) in diameter.

Height: The plants are robust, growing to a height of 3.5 to 5.5 feet (105–165 cm).

Performance: Exceptionally floriferous. Blooms from summer through fall, with long, strong stems ideal for cutting. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Low-maintenance and highly productive—perfect for both garden display and vase work.
