A Bit of History

Crazy Legs is a novelty or stellar variety bred to combine striking bi-colour contrast with prolific flowering and strong stem performance. While exact breeder details are less public, it features in listings as a long-standing favourite for cut flowers and garden colour. The rolled or partially rolled petals that allow both front and reverse hues to show give it character unlike many standard single-colour dahlias. Gardeners love it for its reliability, dazzle, and versatility—every stem feels like it has personality.

Ideal For

• Cutting gardens — the long stems and showy bicolor blooms make it a standout in bouquets

• Mixed borders — adds texture, contrast, and visual movement among foliage and companion plants

• Containers (if well supported) — smaller bloom size helps in large pots or raised planters

• Fall displays or arrangements — late-season colour boost when many other flowers begin to fade

Pairs Well With

Deep purple or burgundy foliage plants (e.g. coleus, ornamental sweet potato vine) to let Crazy Legs’ yellow + red tones pop

Other dahlias with complementary colours such as a deep red (e.g. “Bishop of Llandaff”) or golden yellow blooms to pick up the warm front tones

Silver or grey-leaf perennials (e.g. dusty miller or artemisia) for contrast that emphasizes the bloom colour
