Origin & Breeding History: 'Dafireogtyve' originated from a naturally occurring mutation of the variety 'Bahia'. The mutation was observed in May 2007 as part of a breeding program in Odense, Denmark. The objective of the program was to develop new Dahlia varieties with uniform and compact plant growth habit and colourful flowers. 'Dafireogtyve' was selected in May 2010 for its compact form and free flowering habit.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Dafireogtyve' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2011/2922, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in 2012. Colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
