Know before you buy
This variety is quite substantial, reaching a mature height of approximately 5 feet. You should plan for this height when selecting a spot in your garden to ensure it doesn't shade out smaller plants.
To perform at its best, this dahlia needs a location with full sun. This means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to support its 5-inch blooms.
For optimal airflow and healthy development, space your tubers 12 to 18 inches apart. Proper spacing helps prevent foliage issues and ensures each plant has enough room to reach its full potential.
You can expect the first flowers to appear in 80 to 100 days after planting. Because they are a summer-blooming perennial, they will continue to provide color throughout the warmer months.
Yes, their unique terracotta and rose tones make them excellent for companion planting. They pair particularly well with other dahlias in creamy peach or bronze palettes to create a cohesive, sophisticated garden display.
