GIANT-FLOWERED SEMI-CACTUS DAHLIAS

Semi-Cactus Dahlias have fully double blooms. The ray florets are usually pointed, the majority narrower than those of Decorative Dahlias, but broader than those of Cactus Dahlias, and revolute for half their length (longitudinal axis) or less, broad at the base, and either straight or incurving.

Giant-Flowered Semi-Cactus Dahlias have blooms usually over 10" (254mm) in diameter
