Downham Royal is a miniature ball-type dahlia celebrated for its compact, elegant blooms and rich coloration.​  Flowers reach about 3 inches across, fully double with a neat ball shape featuring iridescent burgundy to deep wine-red petals that fade subtly to purple or violet at the center. This color gradient creates striking contrast, making it a standout for arrangements.​  
Plants grow to 36-44" tall with mid-green foliage, blooming reliably from mid-summer until frost. The sturdy stems and long vase life suit it well for hand-tied bouquets and cutting gardens.​
Similar to Chimacum Del Blomma but shorter, it offers prolific flowering in deep magenta tones with blackish hints, ideal for borders or containers. Growers praise its hardiness as a cut flower.
