Golden Sceptre

Some dahlias have been stealing hearts for generations, and Golden Sceptre is one of those timeless treasures. This heirloom beauty, first hybridized way back in 1926, proves that good things never go out of style—that buttery golden yellow color is just as stunning today as it was nearly a century ago. The flowers have that classic pompon look with tightly layered petals that create little golden spheres—like sunshine captured in flower form.

Florists and designers have been reaching for Golden Sceptre for decades because it delivers everything you want in a cut flower: strong, long stems that hold up beautifully in arrangements, consistent blooming, and that warm golden color that plays well with everything from deep reds to soft pastels. In the garden, it’s equally reliable, asking for nothing more than full sun and decent drainage.
