As a formal decorative bloom, Jason Matthews Dahlias have a symmetrical ball shape and are a petite flower. In darker light, the flower looks purple, but in bright light it can take on nearly fuchsia tones. The plant is a vigorous plant putting on many blooms and has really long stems. If harvesting this flower for cut arrangements, you will want to do so before the flower fully opens, as the center will show yellow once full bloomed. It produces numerous tubers in the fall for next years plantings.

This is a variety we added the second year we grew dahlias. At that time, the symmetrical and ball shapes were definitely a love for us. We have been pleased with the prolific blooms produced reasonably early in the dahlia growing season. We also have a family member with the name of Matthew, so this bloom serves as a reminder of that connection as well.
