Upright and garden-worthy, this dahlia reaches approximately 1.0 to 1.5 metres high, flowering from mid-summer through autumn (and into warmer months when the climate allows). Thick stems and lush foliage complement the full heads of petals, making it ideal for garden beds, cut-flower displays, or specimen planting.
