'Bumble Rumble'

Bumble Rumble struts into the garden like a flower-power firecracker—white petals splashed with raspberry-purple circling a golden groove of a center. This collarette dahlia, bred in 2001 by the Gitts family at Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon, rides on strong, upright stems that keep the bloom standing tall in the patch. It’s a short-lived star in the vase, but in the garden it’s pure retro magic—bold, bright, and totally groovy.
