Candy Time (often written “Candy Time Dahlia”) is a decorative dahlia variety grown for its striking, candy‑colored blooms.  Candy Time produces medium to large, fully double flowers with many neatly arranged petals, giving it the classic “decorative” dahlia look. The blooms are typically dark pink to raspberry or purple tones that can soften toward lighter, almost ivory shades near the petal tips, creating a multi‑toned, candy‑like effect.​  Plants generally reach about 3–4 feet in height, making them suitable for mixed borders and cutting gardens. Candy Time is marketed specifically as a cut‑flower type, so the stems are good for bouquets and the plant will keep producing new blooms after cutting.​  Like most dahlias, Candy Time flowers from early to mid‑summer and continues blooming until the first frost if regularly deadheaded or cut for arrangements.
