This compact dahlia variety produces semi-double blooms in vivid shades of pink, orange, yellow, and red—delighting from midsummer right through to autumn. Dahlias are classic perennials in the Asteraceae family, prized for their long flowering season and bold impact in beds and containers.

• Flowering Period: Expect a profusion of blooms from July until the first frosts.
• Care Requirements: Dahlias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming.
