One of the best dahlias we’ve ever grown. Period.
‘Barbarry Jester’ is a BB-size formal decorative dahlia that stands tall (literally and figuratively) at around 5 feet in the garden. Bred by Barry Davies in 2016, this variety delivers consistent performance, standout blooms, and color tones that shift with the season and conditions
Why We Love Barberry Jester
-
Color-Changing Magic
Expect more pink tones in cooler temps, shadier spots, or late in the season—especially along the petal edges. In full sun and heat? It leans into bronzier hues for a totally different vibe. -
Tall + Vigorous
Strong stems, lush growth, and a tall habit that holds its own in the field or a border. -
Excellent Bloom Form
Fully double flowers with a clean, formal decorative shape. Perfect for cutting or showing off. -
Reliable + Productive
One of our most consistent producers. It’s not just pretty—it pulls its weight.
